Photo of Sailonline race

[Dipper]

For those people who think we are living in a virtual fantasy world, here is proof that this race is real. The photo shows the fleet passing through the Strait of Gibraltar. If you look closely you can see that the Mobo competitors have a tell tale plume of smoke and cooling water coming from their exhausts.

A few of the raggies seem to be cheating as well with telescopic masts twice the regulation height. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thats scandalous















My engines do not smoke!

I think this race would work better, if you could buy add ons, such as spinakers, engines....Doh! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

lol

at least I have cleared the med in the VOR game - infact I think I might be the leading YBW boat.

Ah well, making up ground in SOL as well, so cant complain

 

[Dipper]

AHA! Engines!! So you admit to more than one. Yet another infringement. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

Oh, you mean my Ocean70 aint supposed to plane?

 

[fireball]

Yes it is .... but not by using the engine .....

The group is starting to break up a little.

Earlier, I had to climb the mast to see a way out!

 

[Spyro]

Can you imagine being the first onto a port tack /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gifo

 

[Dipper]

It's a complete logistics exercise in itself. They would have to peel off in turn with those at the far end losing out big time.

the echo of "dont tack in my water" would be deafening
