Good on you Conrad for backing yourself. Its a long way north and it still gets wild and woolly where you are so take care and may the fresh winds continue.
North track living it up! Those crazies doing the Sydney Hobart must love beating a tight reach. For you clean running all the way. Merry Christmas from NZ. 830am here and the presents are about to be opened
One reason I like to follow Conrad is that he takes crazy fliers. Every French skipper immediately headed South. Conran heads North. It probably won't work, but it is fun to watch.
@@keithc5729almost. Our halyards are only 6mm dyneema, so can’t take much load. For the chicken stay, it’s actually a fully dimensioned cable that is hoisted, locked, and tensioned on the bowsprit
@@colmanoceanracing Thanks, good to know. Remember when Kevin E. lost his mast in the ocean race. Next time the mast is down it would be great to see how these hooks and locks work. My small catamaran has a hook for the main halyard, it is a bit of a pain.
Wow tricky looking routing looking further ahead! Way North or right along the exclusion zone, headwinds and calm patches between... Fingers crossed you find a private elevator through this patch, fly Kiwi, fly!
Hey Conrad: hang on and the BEST of the BEST for Christmas! Keep enjoying and pls hang close to the french flower...you know ...the pretty lady in front of you mate...cant let her go. Be save
Looking Good Conrad - I love the choices you are making….. 👍
Season's Greetings to you, dear Conrad, and the very best wishes to you. May you and your boat be blessed and be safe in this race.

Merry Christmas Conrad.
Thrilling chicken stay lesson .. replayed so many times to see where it's secured .. on deck? Hoisted?
Super happy to learn!!! ❤
It is just a halyard. Clip the halyard to the bow, tighten it up.
Holcim lost their mast in the Ocean Race because their number 2 head stay failed.
