@catherine Vice versa. For me NZ is The Place to visit one day.

by redkiwi 7/1/2012 10:59:18 PM
Seen that alright. But if the sea picks up in the southwest corner of ireland and some wind with it there could be a few big waves there as well

Overall leader G4 still to improve in light airs... But they are able to do it before Galway! Go G4!

If this stands as it is:

by galap 7/2/2012 3:42:01 PM

@Emilio...go to 3d tracker and turn on the wind arrows...its fun

by Capt Joei 7/2/2012 3:42:08 PM
@Emílio Plentz Pls, pls, pls

by Hartmut J. Otto 7/2/2012 3:42:20 PM
@Walkover, so all G4 has to do is finish, anywhere but last and its over.

by Donald 7/2/2012 3:42:39 PM
No! There would be 10 points between

by Mary 7/2/2012 3:42:46 PM
Groupama: 225 + 15 = 240
Puma: 200 + 30 = 230
Therefore Groupama wins the VOR no matter what happens during the last inport

by galap 7/2/2012 3:42:56 PM
Go Puma it is never over till the fat lady sings

by algarve richard 7/2/2012 3:42:58 PM
