Re: Another America’s Cup entry destroyed

Enjoy your AC 72's, for those that are all for them. I'll bet this is the last year they race in the AC with them. Frekin nuts to be on one of these things in 33 knots- that is almost 40 mph with a...

Re: Hot stuffing box...

That is what I was thinking, cut the tube, but the yard says not enough room- I assume they cannot get a grinder in there to do the work. Maybe another cut off tool would fit- maybe a dremel with a...

Re: Another America’s Cup entry destroyed

There are many parties involved with the AC. Clearly you do not understand this. You read somthing and comprehend it the way you see fit.

Re: Another America’s Cup entry destroyed

Nothing is wrong with that, I am all for it. Others though think the skippers are sailing just for themselves.

Re: Another America’s Cup entry destroyed

The other fatality you speak of in the AC training was a piece of broken gear that hit a sailor. It was not a capsize or break apart of an entire boat.

I have not been watching the AC, and don't...

Re: Another America’s Cup entry destroyed

1. After a complete review, then it could be decide if the AC 72's should be scrapped all together.

2. I would rather see a boat design that can handle any wind strength below say 45 knots. That...

Re: Another America’s Cup entry destroyed

There is also the issue of the extreme height you will be at if you do capsize or pitch pole if you are on the "high" side going over.

And with things like Challenger, NASA stopped flights until...

Re: Another America’s Cup entry destroyed

I'll say this.
I have 100% respect and admiration for all the crew sailing those AC72's. I cannot imagine sailing in 30 knots of wind with a 130 foot fixed sail to deal with. I scare myself at...

Re: CA Sailor Rescued North Pacific
