    One of the more creative April Fools stories I've seen!

    The best comedy since Only fools and Horses!! Mr Payne has been had by a certain Kiwi fella! Bless him for being C... struck. 15 45s, and a huge following in the heart of uk sailing territory, sounds great!

    Good reporting James! Plymouth looks like a very good choice (what a delightful breakwater they have); Especially good if the odds of getting becalmed are lower there, than anywhere else?

    Getting a headache from the '15 teams&12 countries' puzzle in today's update of the AC34 parlour game? For a neat solution, look here: http://www.voilesetvoiliers.com/club/blogs/voir/Lebras/billet/1101/

    Nice to see that Berlusconi distances himself from any suggestion that he is "just about dinner parties with scantily dressed young girls" by having, oh yes, a scantily dressed young girl emblazoned 30 foot high om the main!

    Web broadcast of the christening scheduled 9pm CET tonight; the 'Birth' video at this same link is nicely done. http://www.multionedesign.com/en/video.html

    In response to: JPMorgan Round the Island Race update
    Great that Lemonchoix will be there with Prince de Bretagne! ... Did someone entice him by dangling a carrot? Perhaps we'll see a few other Multi50's in the race, supposing they finished dealing with troublesome leeks, etc.

    In response to: VIDEO: Paul Larsen on Vestas SailRocket Mk2
    A much larger pin holding the hydrofoil to the boat would be more reassuring...perhaps there is a lanyard fitted just in case?

    In response to: Past Recife
    This am Sodebo is doing 9kts in a F2, and the Doldrums look pretty wide atm! What I meant was mission impossible in this boat. The question is does Coville want to try again in Sodebo's current configuration. What mods could make it faster? Or would only a longer boat with a larger rig and it's singlehanded problems do.

    Maybe not mission impossible yet, but it also threatens to become the 2010 Route de Rhum in reverse...

    In response to: Past Recife
    It is a large round number now, isn't it! Coville made very good time up the south Atlantic but that low producing northerlies cost him dearly. And Joyon really raced home after crossing the Doldrums too. I'm afraid Thomas' boat is only a refinement of IDEC and not significantly faster, and since Joyon was also fairly lucky with the weather, it's beginning to look like mission impossible.

    Idec's now approaching a 400 mile lead. I wonder if Joyon isn't finding this the perfect race format, surrounded with all the comforts of home?

    Ooo snappy, is a man bag standard issue too? Good on 'em for getting sponsorship £££'s, but wow, not my choice of wheels.

    Great news for the AC, I hope they find the rest of the sponsorship.. Is it me or do Team NZ have a bigger gennaker than we have seen photos of before??

    In response to: Oracle Racing first out of the blocks
    another great example of Oracle controlling the Controllable. Hopefully the next boats will have much better graphics to excite the public
