Did anyone see the waffle on Ch7 Sydney just presented about the "secret ingenious redesign" of Wild Oats in Mona Vale?

Cutting the boat in half and adding 2m of fibreglass. Lucky most people have no idea that all things being equal a longer water line length means more boat speed. Nothing clever.

ie. Whoever can pay for the biggest boat wins. If you can't pay you cant win.

Oh, and you have to pay for the diesel to run for the entire voyage to shift the keel and power the hydraulics. Dubious calling boats with those sailing boats I reckon. Wild Oats the motor yacht would be more appropriate.

It would be wonderful if the media educated themselves that the handicap race is the real race!
