    Gonna be some late night´s for the shore team and the Team that is most vesitile and willing to do the work ahead of time and during the event to establish the time nesasary to adjust your boat for the conditions you believe will be there in the morning will dominate , will see gonna be one hell of a contest between 2 Boat´s which are very fast and Fragile with consequences of an accident being , well unbelievably bad , there are good point´s and bad point´s to these Catamaran´s but one of the the good point´s is were 6 month´s away and we allready know who is gonna be there , baring some crazy unforseen incident with a
    lack luster Challenger who is clinging on to dear life to stay in the Game , let´s hope we don´t see that , gonna be great can´t wait to watch it from the bar at the Yacht club in Sardinia , best to TNZ
