Crisis? what crisis This year's ARC edition, that will take place 7 months from now is full...but the inscriptions keep piling up.
They have made an effort to accept more boats…in Las Palmas they will mount more pontoons and they have taken in 270 inscriptions…but after that 25 more have appeared and it seems more will come.
Around 300 sailboats crossing the Atlantic at the same time!!!! Who would have believed it possible some years back. So much for the crisis.
Ok, I think I have a boat that hasn't been on the thread, or the brand even. Just ran into it by accident and thought I would toss it into the mix. E Sailing Yachts. The builder is Lyman Morse and the designer is Jeremy Wurmfeld. (I looked on the index and couldn't find it there. Sorry If I missed it in the last two years of reading the thread! )
First, the e-33 day sailer.
Hadn't heard of them before. They have designs for a 27' day sailer and a 44' cruisier. Here is the 44
Thought they were interesting to me at least. The 27' day sailer looks like it would be fun and easy to sail.
Old school look but some new ideas. Anyone have any thoughts on these?
Yes I have posted about the bigger one some months back. It is really a nice boat and it is amazing how it is not been produced yet. Sailboat interest in the US is really weak when compared with Europe. Interesting expensive boats always find a buyer here.
The e27 I don't know if I posted about but those are really nice boats and they are very welcomed again on this thread, maybe someone around there notice them and we can see the e44 in flesh and bones.
The e27 is really a delightful daysailer, a classic boat with a modern under-body and I bet it will be a pleasure to sail and fast too.
To complete the e-series they also make the e-33, also a daysailer and they have a new high performance sail with a square top. Nice the look of modern things blended with old classical shapes
Do you thought I was talking about performance boats? Well, on a performance boat it can be a bit like that but with more space for the same stuff but a lot more fun sailing
Hey Guys, you should give a good look at the the VOR: About 1000 Nm to go and three boats with a difference of 20Nm, very complicated weather pattern big tactical decisions on the next hours and all the three are taking different options.
I guess that there is a big chance that the winner will be determined on the next 24 hours.
Puma starts with a 13Nm head lead…but that is no big assurance given the difficulty of the game ahead. Any slight mistake will cost it the lead.
