I didn't upgrade to the StarTac yet.
2.3.4 ain't gonna cut it.

It official. Race 2 postponed until another day. It's LR's lucky day.

WATCH THIS!!

That was awesome!
One of the crewmembers just fell through the front carbon fairing!

Simply stunning. Ever time I see mono-hull replays, I'm stunned how boring things look compared to what we have today.

Gotta give the kiwi's credit - knocked down but the whole crew was there to pick them back up. That was some serious sketchy sailing.

LOL, So much for the perfect boat with the perfect crew. I think LR was going to protest the removal of the fairing. Quite a bit of change from when measured in.

How 'bout a couple of egos going at it.
Love it!

Classic bow stuff to the mast!

Been there, done that, but not while going 40+kts.

It makes me feel better to see the pro's stuff it too.

Now, can both boats get fixed in time for tomorrow's race?

" Two minute later the Italians issued a protest, however at the time of posting this article, we had no confirmation why, what for, or who against. "

Update: Protest withdrawn.

42.9 knots then bam

"The capsize cause seemed to be related to a daggerboard angle issue, or rudder trim issue - given that the boat was already up and foiling and sailing fast in the bearaway"

Do you know if there are scuppers on the side of the hulls? Right after the stuff, just after the two guys fall overboard, you'll see water pouring out of the hull from what looks like 2, two foot long scuppers.

At first I thought each crew had put his foot through the hull and that was water pouring out of the hull, but after watching the replay several times, it must be scuppers, but where is the water coming from?

I thought any water above and between the hulls would go straight down through the fishnet tramp. So where is all that water that's pouring out of those slots coming from?

Gladwell's comments on Ballastgate

Audio interview as Barker explains the stuff .

Yes Tim, those are drains to the **** that are recessed in the hull. Without the drains they would be a giant bathtub with grinding stations.

Really?

I created a screenshot from the video (helicopter cam)

How Aussies saw the incident :

Awesome. Looks like DB doing everything he can to get his boat going while OR calmly sails away.

I might be able to hack the app for you Todd. With the new google play services (as long as you had that updated on your phone - should have happened automatically) then you can do anything a 4.0 phone could do. I'll just check the build prop file in the APK and change it for you. You'll have to sideload it but I'm sure you can figure that out.
