Bad Idea Bears Racing

Another New Year’s Day at Peng Chau!

Epic edition of the China Cup International Regatta(CCIR)

We were overall 3rd going into the final day of racing but could not hold off ManBude and their giant A2 on a light air day

Overall, we survived 35+ knots TWS on the way to Daya Bay with only one broken block and achieved our best China Cup IRC result! We also reached a totally new level of consistency!

Preparations for the 2025 edition begins

3rd overall after 2 days of racing!

2024 China Cup

Another year, another China Cup inspection completed!

Winning the start in Race 2… the only highlight on an otherwise miserable day 😭

Rebuilding!

Finished another Typhoon Series with all smiles on board!

Not the best season in terms of results, but we’ve learned to race the boat smoothly with only 5-6 regulars on board

A big welcome to all the newbies who did supremely well!

The glue that has held this team together! Happy 60th

Need to start investing in the Mark 6!

Beaten only by the Cape 31s and our perennial nocturnal problem! Quick recovery after our spinnaker sheet block blew up led to this fine result!

Never thought table condiments would give us our first WIN for the year! 😂

All smiles on board after two 3-lap W/Ls in excruciating heat! Super impressive crew work and boatspeed even thought we only had 8 on board @ Day 2 - 2024 Typhoon Series
