1st November 5pm Update – 3 Hours into the 2024 Melbourne to Devonport Race The fleet is settling into Bass Strait, enjoying flat seas and 15 knots from the south in what has been termed "peachy conditions." Leading the fleet are MRV and eXtasea, with the fleet staying just east of the rhumb line. In an interview at 4pm, Rod Smallman on Maverick predicted that those who pick the right time to tack may have the advantage, as they await a wind change later tonight. He went on to suggest that it could turn out to be a small boat race for handicap honors given the predicted conditions, though tactics will play a large part. The fleet is closely packed, with each tracker update giving everyone a chance at the handicap win. Keep an eye on the tracker https://race.bluewatertracks.com/2024-melbourne-to-devonport-rudder-cup and enjoy whilst we wait for the wind to change the interview with Rod Smallman here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKb4a8r4e7M

► Directly inspired by its bigger sistership, the HammerCat 35, this all-new 30 set to be unveiled in 2025 features hulls specially designed for high-speed sailing in rough seas - wave-piercing bows, high, narrow tunnel and double chines, strakes to reduce spray. The deck is equipped with two helm seats, two seats forward of the console and an aft bench seat. These seats are protected by a large glass/epoxy-sandwich T-top. While the HammerCat 30 offers a central console dedicated to sport fishing, this powercat is also suitable for families looking for a comfortable daycruiser to spend a day on the sandbar or head off to the Bahamas for the weekend. ► Builder: Hammer Yachts Length: 29’ (8.78 m) Beam: 9’4” (2.86 m) Draft : 16” (40 cm) Displacement: 6,500 lbs (2.95 t) Engine: 2 x 150 or 2 x 225 HP Fuel: 2 x 80 US gal (2 x 300 l) Water: 24 US gal (90 l) Range: 300 to 400 miles ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
