Trim On

I think there is some good news.

You think they would do this without having the replacement section ready? When is Gold Coast race?

Pittwater Coffs race done also?

its gone. new keel.

boom broke basically above vang

lets see. does a swearing, fighting, sometimes pissed idiot who has no real sailing nor boating knowledge fit the bill?

You people love your Hobart F40 fleet don't you. Don't let them worry you too much, it is a cycle, in 5-10 years they will be just a memory and people will move back to divisional racing. The thing is though when that happens, then Division 1 will be the wankers, it is pretty hard to please some. Assume they are the quickest/best funded things on the Derwent currently, best thing you could do is get yourself on one. How many F40's you have now? Assume they are racing windward/leewards, not around the river courses? Storm Bay may be a bit far for them to travel each morning & night. What's that 10 or 11nm? Mate there are fuckwits everywhere these days, reality is that there will be a greater percentage in a pastime like sailing, get over it.

main halyard might go out to a primary?

7.2 - sounds like you need to recalibrate your gear. or you werent going upwind So what do the quick boats in Hobart do upwind, must be 7.2 plus plenty? I say bullshit.

Fuck me that must be one of the ugliest boats ever built.

Dunno about a succession of boats with that name, but he does seem to prefer song names as boat names? Being for the benefit of Mr Kite, from the Beatles?
