a ver si este año la sidney hobarth se presenta con menos viento
con lo que lo grandes saldrian perjudicados
December 24 : The "southerly buster" - an intense depression typical of a boat-breaking Rolex Sydney Hobart - forecast earlier in the week is now set to be further offshore from Sydney for the Boxing Day start of the annual 628 mile race south to Hobart. Due to this, the Tuesday start will not be in a 30 knot breeze as previously forecast, but in a more sedate 10-12 knots from the southwest or south decreasing over the first 24 hours of the race, according to Rob Webb from the Bureau of Meteorology..
lumpy seas previously forecast were thought to favour the two Volvo Open 70s, ABN AMRO One and Matt Allen’s Ichi Ban, both built to be raced hard around the world and that could be pushed in the tough conditions while the crew on the 98ft long Wild Oats XI would have to back off or risk breakage, as occurred to two of the leading maxis in the Rolex Sydney Hobart two years ago.
