What rumors and stories? Looked like to me everyone was just happy to be racing.
Ohh, just a small selection from rumours started in this thread alone :
So what was the pop, ..., was it one of the F16 rudders snapping, or your hull breaking off. Try some honest reporting and may be you guys will gain some respect.
... they quickly disassembled the boat and left. I think the hull was toast.
From my view & some talk on the beach, three F17s usually finish ahead of the F16s.
PTP's hull didn't break off but cracked, hull isn't toast, PTP didn't leave in a hurry to hide the damage and the 3 F17's didn't usually finish ahead of the F16's. The racing was pretty level despite the event being a blow-out with various crew deciding not to risk it.
Only story still standing is that Layline F18 beat everybody hands down and that Bob Curry is one fast singlehanded sailor with a stroke of bad luck (collision) and a big hole in his hull.
End of story !
