TWC Breaking News–Orange II Is Out: No real surprise, but it’s always a shame to watch a boat and crew fail. If you had a spanking new untested boat and just two months to get it ready for a round the world record run, Bruno Peyron is probably the one guy you’d want in charge. But the odds were always stacked against him. The maxi-cats, particularly one as big as 120 feet, need development time. Which is to say, they need to be taken out, beat to sh*t, and rebuilt where they break, over and over again until they stop breaking. Orange II will be back in the water soon, and will probably break some more before she is sound. TWC bets Peyron will next target a series of Atlantic records, Round Britain and Ireland, Cross Channel, Trans Med, all leading to the east-west transatlantic, and then an assault on PlayStation’s monster west-east transatlantic mark of 4 days 17 hours. Bonne Chance, Bruno…
