porqui Posted July 29, 2020 Share Anyone here play virtual regatta? Looks interesting think I may join up. How long have you been on it and what is your "handle" (that goes back 45yrs)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted July 30, 2020 Share Looks interesting think I may join up. How long have you been on it and what is your "handle" (that goes back 45yrs)?about a month now - shebeena bunch of us sailing buddies play each week and talk *** on a google meet session, it's good fun - instead of sweating on zwift you can have a glass of vino on the sideQuite hard actually (or i just never played tv games much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted November 17, 2020 Share with pro cycling over for now, there's some awesome sailing taking it's place for me. Vendee Globe kicked off last weekthis is EPIC.33 boats, most of them french. https://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/tracking-mapcoverage is a little spares, but https://www.youtube.com/user/AlexThomsonRacing is pretty good daily updates (he's leading after taking a bold move through a highpressure system) otherwise some VERY good and detailed daily analysis by conradhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDeF0psE1Ei6Oildpi9cskQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted November 17, 2020 Share Then, if you have not had enough of Brailsford's boys rolling across the alps, then go for Ainslee's army down under. (Ineos not short of cash to splash)Â Â racing kicks off december, it is going to be undedflkf04ut lievable Sepia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatopek Posted January 21, 2021 Share There is a recent school leaver in my family that are looking to do the RYA yacht-master offshore course. I might contribute to it. Questions: Any honest comments on that as career during Covid 19? Are people actually getting jobs at this stage. I'm unsure how I feel about it - he is bright enough to do any university course he wants, but this is what he wants to do... (I'm also somewhat jealous about it at the same time. It look awesome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCYC have had a quite a surge in new boat owners joining. i sure as hell wouldn't want to go to varsity this year Zatopek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted February 16, 2021 Share  3 more to go and they face ETNZ. Hope Ben's got some fight left in him because a 7-0 drubbing isn't going to be good for their future challenge viability kosmonooit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypot Posted February 19, 2021 Share  3 more to go and they face ETNZ. Hope Ben's got some fight left in him because a 7-0 drubbing isn't going to be good for their future challenge viability Hope they get a better start tomorrow. The last four have been terrible, and then they've just been blocked in all race, or left for dead.   Luna Rossa seem to be a lot better in the lighter winds too. It's also less exciting to watch with lighter winds, except for the speed. 34kts in 8kts of breeze is outstanding!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted March 15, 2021 Share 5-3 to the defender. great racing today, really good racing DawieO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted March 16, 2021 Share 6-3 to the defender. what a stonking good race that was. LRPP leads the start, leg 1, 2, 3,4 and concedes the lead before Gate 5. EtNZ hits the push to overtake and disappears up the windward leg to win by 30sec.... can't make this kind of racing up in a tabloid. Smoking barnacles I hope the AC75's are here to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
