[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 593393, member: 20605"] I think that is hilarious. It was Coutts and Oracle that kicked up a big fuss about wind speed after the fatal crash of Artemis that killed the british sailor "Bart" Simpson. They hid the wind speed limit in long list of regulation changes under the "safety" banner because they thought they would be slower than Luna Rossa and Aoteroa in higher wind speeds. (the Kiwis had practised at wind speeds of 35kt in Auckland, achieving boat speed of almost 50kts with little difficulty) Now that they find they can match, and are slightly faster than Aotearoa at higher wind speeds, they want the limit raised.
