So thinking we should have a bit of fun for this years race.

Actually, I'll post 2 custom made 5mm soft shackles anywhere in Oz for the winner.
You win and let me know how big you want them made!

Ok, think it will work like this!!

Pick the line honours winner, the IRC winner and the line honours elapsed time.

Points will be;
Where your line honours winner finishes + where your IRC winner finishes + how many hours you're off on the time.
If your selected boat doesn't finish you'll get the number of finishes +1!

My guess,

BlackJack line honours in 2 days 1 hour 30min
IRC Celestial

Have at it!!

Hi Rumblefish

What is the latest that an entry can be submitted

Regards Don

Sounds good to me. We will be following the fleet from Sydney to Hobart on board the Coral Discoverer. We did it 2 years ago and it was great. We pull in to Constitution Dock for New Year's Eve for all the festivities and disembark on New Year's Day. I will give my tips a bit later, but on the forecast at the moment I would have Blackjack for line honours and one if the smaller slower boats for IRC.

i will put an early one in .....LH black jack 1 d 21 h 2 min 1 sec irc ichi ban

I ami interceded why Black Jack is being chosen over WO XI

Black Jack 2 days 3 hours 47 mins IRC Ichi Ban

Yes, but it's not me. I think I was invited, I can't really recall. We were a bit pissy after a 48hr passage

nice one Rumble!

Lets go MagicMiles to win then.!!

I expect to see a SB burgee during the coverage
Safe trip

We also have some pretty special cargo onboard that we brought up on the delivery and will race back with. Perhaps the barrels should have their own PLBs!

Ha! Post passage was quite a blur!

Im on Magic Miles for the race. PHS div.

Hi FreeRadical

I have never seen her inside but looking at her from the pontoon I imagine Magic Miles would be a pretty comfortable boat to make the trip down on

After you and Crewy rescued the 5 maidens before running before the storms, somebody two bays away could've cracked the port bolt and you two would've fallen over all giddy (it was a very amusing evening though )

I wouldn't have been able to make it anyway, but I am jealous now that we know your cargo..... It is a fine whiskey.

Yup, Magic Miles is a beautiful boat!!
Repaired the furler with a new forstay recently and she is in good shape!

Having been to the briefing this morning, my 16th in a row, I'll go with either BJ or WO for line. Handicap could be anyone and I mean anyone. There's a NorEaster till Green Cape/Gabo Island then take your pick. The little boats, Azzuro, Katwincher could come home.
