looks like the RC won that leg.

Which hasn't always been the case... I recall one of the W-1000 when a few competitors beat the RC to the beach?

I think there might have been one Hiram's where the boats beat the RC to Hiram's too...

Man the F18's look like they just had to tack away while the M20 and the N20c are just pinchin away at around 7knots. Looks like Brett and JC are out in front at this point.

I hope they keep a close eye on the shadows close to the finish.

If it's blowing 18-20 why are they only going 7 knots? Would think they could be going 12-14 unless we go slower than I thought we did.
Looks like the first leg of the last Tybee... I think we hit the beach at 7:30... miserable way to start! Even Mischa said he would be okay if it was over after that first day.

Todd, looking at the weather report, the big wind isn't supposed to hit until 3pm (still a bit away). At Key Biscayne right now I'm showing 6knots from the NNE.

I've been getting really strange "data" from Molasses reef this morning too. I would see 6 and then jump into the historical chart and see it at 18 (sustained to current). Didn't have much time to dig into it deeper. Clearly, it's not that windy out there right now.

They've probably got another four hours to go. I remember that last Tybee 1st leg - I didn't wear enough gear and got hypothermic on that long upwind slog.

From what I tell the front runners should be finishing within half that time. Remember they don't have to go past all of Miami this time smile

Yeah, a little less than that I suppose. They're 2/3 of the way there and have been running almost 5 hours. Another 2.5 hours for the front if things remain steady.

Well the wind is supposed to increase and the angle to the finish is a lot better. They shouldn't need to tack nearly as much - thus better VMG.

I'm thinking about a 4:30PM finish.

Where in the heck is Royal White going? They're cutting inside through Broad Creek. The water can't be rough enough to want to get inside to flat water - and I can't imagine that's a better angle...some sort of problem?

Maybe they felt like pulling off a patented Larry Ferber Beer Run (Patent Pending)?

Ooof. Good call. Marspeed just kicked it up a big notch now that they could crack off.

On another note - that C20 doesn't appear to have the foiling package on it. Was that a spoof?

I'm pretty sure that Kirk's Carbon 20 is not the fully foiling variety. The V-tips would be quite a chore to beach launch and land methinks.

Looks like Marspeed is on the beach, or very close to it now.

Looks like it would be mid-summer before the full foiling conversion.

I think it would be helpful for online spectator/wannabes like me if they put which boat they were on in their tracking name, such as "Key Sailing - Nacra C20". Is there anyway to post who is on what, or is it posted somewhere else?
