to the Annapolis show with a cobbled up part of an interior (from a 110?) and
Tim Jackett came with it to show it off. They assembled a crack crew and showed
if off quite well (and it got a lousy PHRF rating that

C 99's were about 9.9 meters. About 32-33 feet. It's the black hull
with the 3 white boot stripes. Note how it collapses the red chute as it
rolls over it.
It tried to go under the boat shooting the video. Not the best option. It
would have struggled in the wind shadow of that boat. Finally

Yes hull #1 was called Rabbit and was basically a stripped out boat that they
added a long retractable sprit to and a 54” wheel. The boat was sold and now
has an interior.

I think Hull #1 had been modified to do that at some point. The regular C 99
comes with symmetric 200% spinnaker and J+1 pole. A number have since been
modified to add a small fixed sprit which has total sprit length no longer than
Spinnaker pole length. The four racing here (Halifax) do not
Hi Chuck- I looked at a C 99 when I was buying my boat and it had an integral
extending pole for an A sail. I presumed that was standard on the 99, but the
one in your video doesn’t have one. Did some have them or was the one I looked
at modified? Dave

True. However that 99 is now going to have to alter more DDW and will slow
down quite a bit as a result ….

Hi Don,
I wasn't there, but a crewman aboard the 99 told me the owner has a long
rivalry with the J-109 which was flying an assymetric on a sprit, also. He
told me the 99 is for sale because the owner bought a J-109 cause it's faster
upwind and points higher. I find the video quite exciting
Chuck,
Good demonstration of what happens when you decide to sail a smaller
boat thru the lee of a bigger boat. Especially dead downwind with a
A-chute and the bigger has a symmetric chute. Unless the A-chute was
in restricted water or closing the mark they should have been maxing
their
