which I have not participated It seems that the Committee has the Circle C whistling ears. Short sleeves, mostly coastal, long a reach ... It is surprising that regatta committees also deemed not pass through this way? I was not there .. Both A 31 IRC 3 have so dominated the race. They are at the forefront in real time and Mercier wins with 15 points ahead of second misses the fifth inning.
I let you read the analysis of Jean Pierre Kelbert on the dominance of A 31 and the evolution of IRC:
"I would say that the design is in line with developments gauge for 3 years ie, little wetted surface (super narrow waterline) a keel right (no bulb) and stitches. This report provides a rating / performance ratio
Result a boat with very little stability (shape and weight) but with 8 large board and in addition to top level, is compensated.
I think the boat is very forgiving and handles like a Mumm because the boat is very little shoulder.
however, left the program or so cruise solo, I think the boat will be unmanageable spent 15 knots of wind.
This noon I had lunch with jean Not because I sent him thinking that I was on the evolution of IRC who apparently had called!
One thing is sure, if he (it is only decision-maker with its English counterpart) does not correct a little shooting on the evolution of the gauge, we can no longer earn the same boat with a small crew offshore and crew around 3 buoys.
It will therefore have several boats which is of course appropriate to the situation ...."
Good The economic transition ... ... ... I Have several boats I would like to have more ... Tour of Belle Isle that I had to do on the Class 40 Novedia but eventually the boat will not run. It's unfortunate.
Do not have a boat is both a relief but also a suffering. It's a strange sensation. Relief because it no longer maintains a heap of trouble, costly and time consuming. Suffering because we have more projects, when a race is looming we know how to participate ...
Anyway, I like the idea of shopping shorthanded, solo and duet. He begins to have a mini-tour with the Race of Islands, the duo solo, la Barquera Olonna's the Cup, etc. .. Can classify the boat and therefore share with friends to the boat hounds even if we are not there. But hey I'm not sure. So I'll be taking a break, focus on Novedia (my company not the boat) and wait for the evolution of the circuit?
And run a little on Novedia (the boat not the company)?
