Why a SeaCart 30? Apart from the fact that there is a 31ft limit . there has never been a multihull entered in the race.
Please choose another boat...

Yes, Bearski is right. The boat SOL chooses is not the best election. By the way, who -apart of a crazy guy- will sail a 30' multihull in such a hard race like the Sydney - Hobart? Don't you ever heard about the rough conditions in the Torres Strait?
I believe SOL must try to keep the things as real as it gets.

Hi Jakob:
My humble suggestion is a monohull between 45 and 60 foot. I'm sure you have some boats of such type in your virtual fleet.
But if is too late to make a change, let's sail in the Seacart! Will be a hell of a race, anyway.
Thanks
Andy

If you can change the boat, you have a couple of logical choises. The volvo 70 has done the race, as does the 40.7. Or try the new 90 footer. Any of those would be my choise. Cheers.

Thank you for changing the boat for the race to the 40.7.
It is much appreciated keeping the game in the same spirit of the race.
I now only hope that I have good satellite connection for the duration of the race, so I can hopefully put in a decent result for a change... The joy of living and working on yachts!
