    I am moored next to Flyer(II) right now in the island of Naxos in Greece, immaculately converted to a cruising boat and obviously much loved. I also think I may have seen Gaia, from the first race last week near Athens.

    In response to: US Sailing comment on the selection of kiteboarding
    I think it's to do with the medal chances of US in a kiteboarding class....

    But what about supporting the current classes more and the heritage of the sports? Why not increase the classes? Also why not increase the number of sailors from countries, say the top ten countries get 2 boats per class?

    Strange, she carries the same sail number as a McConachy 38 by the name of Carbonado.

    In response to: The case against weight discrimination
    Olympic swimmers are some of the tallest athletes in the games....their weights aren't representative for a sport where height doesn't provide a speed advantage.

    In response to: Volvo Ocean Race: Into the northeasterlies
    James, we are indebted to you for a decent technical update of events over night. I would recommend the official Volvo site entice you with some folded wedge and get you signed up!

    In response to: Missing Polish round the world yachtsman
    Just heard that he's been found. Zbigniew Gutkowski tells us: "After the media action seeking the lost sailor, was found near the Azores! Thank God he is alive and goes towards Brest."

    In response to: What next for the Volvo Ocean Race?
    Thanks Tim. Unfortunately there is a danger that both the VOR and IMOCA 60 classes may go one design, which will mean there is no offshore development class apart from the Multi50 and the Minis... This cannot be good for the sport in the long run.

    Excellent article James, it's great to get detailed factual information about the different breakages without the sensationalism. It will be very interesting to see what they do for the next race. Let's hope they can get more teams on the start line.

    In response to: Juan K statement on the VOR breakages
    Juan, every body takes thier hat off to you for the job you have done in this and the last 2 Volvos. Dont blow it. By anyones book having to slow down becaues the hull is delaminating when nothing but water has been hit IS a structural issue. Sandersons story on this website quotes the same problems with the ABN boats. It does not take anything away from your team, when the limits are pushed something has to give at some stage.
