All go in Porto Cervo, 3Di

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:24:33 +0000

After three days of practice, y3k and her crew are ready for the first race of the Rolex Maxi yacht Cup tomorrow. Our newest sail is a number 3, 3Di jib from North Sails. After a few ‘adjustments’ it seems quite fast in the low wind range(16-18kts) that we have been able to test it and is for sure very stable. Whilst there is currently no weight saving, it should hold its shape in a very large wind range and the only problem that we have had so far, is that when the sail was new, it was so stiff that it pulled the bolt rope out of the prefeeder during the hoist. Now it seems ok.

Forecast for tomorrow is light. Good luck to all our competitors. Be safe, Phil

Nespresso Cup

Despite the rain and very little wind, the first Nespresso Cup was sailed in Portofino. Well done to Magic Carpet 2 and her crew. The ability of the YCI committee was again confirmed as limited as their honesty in the protest room. We hope for better racing and weather in Portofino. Post from: Riviera Asset Yacht [...]

Palma Vela 2010

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:07:27 +0000

Following a quiet winter, the racing season restarted in Palma. Seven Wallys competed in their class. Navigating on y3k, I couldn’t see us being any slower than last year but the others have definitely got faster. Indio has faster antifouling and new sails, Carpet are always optimising and fast in light airs so we had to be happy with fourth. Lets see how the situation develops in breeze. Many thanks to Mr Offen and the crew for the lift home as flights were a bit of a problem.

Y3K wins Rolex Maxi Cup

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:53:51 +0000

After five days of spectacular racing, y3k won the Wally class with a day to spare. Even so we sailed the last day and got a first place. This result is especially pleasing as it was the first race for the new y3k.
