Is that right? Did it not have a cabin with like extreme tumblehome? Open 60s have, uh, some Open 60s designs have had, uh, quite a lot of tumblehome in the design.

Thinking of, um, Derek Hatfield's boat, Active House, in the Velux Five Oceans race was, um, a Thierry Dubois, uh, association with, um, Bernard Nivelt, and he built a boat with loads of tumblehome, and he did that because he'd been stuck upside down in his Finot-Conq Open 60, which had so much section- suction with a, a flat deck that it wouldn't roll back over as it was designed to do with the, um, with the canting keel.

Thinking of Derek Hatfield's boat Active House in the VLUX 5 Oceans race was a... thierry dubois uh association with um bernard nevelt and he built a boat with loads of tumble home and he did that because he'd been stuck upside down in his finocon open 60 which had so much section suction with a flat deck that it wouldn't roll back over as it was designed to do with the um with the canton keel uh the hydraulics released on the canton keel the keel should have rolled it around but the suction kept it there and he had to be rescued so i With that in mind, he then went, am I getting all these people's names right? I feel like I'm, I think I was right.
