Here is another photo of Velsheda, taken during Antigua Classics in 2011 when she overtook us at a rate of knots.

Wonder what the two master is to port. Come on Kukri !

Could she be Fryderyk Chopin? Although on Chopin the masts do not appear to have as much rake (?)

One for the traditionalists:
Back in the mists of time, before Crossrail Rules even, Nean D’Thal came up with this- quite nice in wood I think

Shrewd tactic to go with a Nean D’Thal but easily sidestepped with a John Watkinson:

The joy of the EW Cooke variation is that I can double post at this point which stymies anyone planning to employ the West Princessa manoeuvre:

Julian Everitt!


Sorry to interject but another couple of moves it'll be unplayable...

Is that a genuine country bumpkin (or boomkin)?

Time to re-trump the hand with a swift insertion of Ed Burnett

I thought this might be a bit of a puzzle, but who designed this race boat?

The obvious answer is going to be wrong, isn’t it!

So not Stephen Jones, then.

 

[ashtead]

Might be a westerly designer surely?

 

[Gwylan]

Philippe Starke

Sorry that's outside the Fosse-Rixart convention

 

[Gwylan]

Schoolboy error from DJE, I see your Strange and counter with this:

Wellies or boatshoes. Hybrids not allowed

 

[Gwylan]

'Croisières avec Croissantes'

Vendredi Treize par Jim Andersen et Dick Carter

'Those Frenchies' Regles Sikkim everywhere....'

Oh, and also qualifies doubly under the 'Sans Aucune Aide Regle' comme Exception Yvon Fauconnier et Alain Colas.

Sorry we have left the EU, so you must forfeit a turn to the nearest player on porttack

Possibly a valid claim, but appeals in the pot zone are definately not allowed. I'd have thought a man of your world ranking would know that.

I hope fellow competitors are wise to what Buck is up to. The man clearly has a savage determination to prevail.

Correct Ed Dubois. It is Enigma, which won the 2005 Quaerter Ton Championship. A bit different than his Westerly designs.

 

[Gwylan]

As he’s been so instrumental in the revival of the J class, I’ll counter with the Dutch defence; Andre Hoek….View attachment 124238
Eagle 54.

Sorry Ensign does not comply. Bogart guidance ruling 1923

I could not find a photo of Odd Job, the quarter tonner designed by Stephen Jones. She was built in Burnham and one of the original shiprights who built her called her such an odd job and the name stuck.

The pot zone defence was ruled out of order years ago. The convention of Montevideo I recall.
