[C38] TRANSPAC II

[Steve Smolinske]

Steve. I talked with Larry's girl friend and she did confirm that some of the crew was apprehensive about flying chutes and for the first day in the trades they did not fly one. Since then it does look like as you pointed out that they should be doing 7.5

Calif I was very competive with the Cat 42's (PHRF 108 vs ours of 114).  I wonder if he is not flying spinnaker, his speed being 5 + knots at 14-15 knots of pressure off the aft quarter- the boat speed should be near hull speed of 7.5 knots.  Well we will hear the story soon.
