How about I take a guess at say 35 feet with a wheel and no backstay????

A wheel?????????????

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

A wheel?????????????

its this big round thing that goes near the back of the boat, alternative to tiller steering, some of the Archambault 35's have them...

and some Farr 40s

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

true, but they're not 35 footers are they

Ah, I always wondered what that was! And here I was thinking it was some kind of beer dispensing device.

But I'm pretty sure there's no wheel involved on this ride, but a beer dispenser would be nice.

[CAB]

Definitely no wheel on this yacht, but one of the class was built with one

[Mr Fisto]

I think A35 (great little boats)

[vego1049]

I think A35 (great little boats)

A35 with IRC rating of 1.136? I think not.

Definitely tiller steered. Wheel only became an option in later builds.

[Beer Ballast]

Hey vego, do we get the shorts, socks and shoes too?

[the quiet one]

1d35

what do i win ?

[vego1049]

1d35

what do i win ?

A winner - and just when I was starting to have fun. Will be the 2nd Id35 in Aust. The Real Thing (previously Wild Thing) is based at RPAYC.

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

is the one at the Alfreds a factory wheel or a custom job?? Never heard of a factory wheel option before

[vego1049]

is the one at the Alfreds a factory wheel or a custom job?? Never heard of a factory wheel option before

Full factory as far as I am aware. There was a 2nd boat with mods that did Transpac 07.

[geeaah]

So where will this fit in with the current crop of 1div boats.

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

on paper id say around 4th-6th on scratch, seeing as how some of the bigger boats can run hot and cold from week to week

[vego1049]

The Wallop mobile returns Monday
Question:
Will the ID35 be doing offshore?
What are the plans?

[DAVO]

Good to see a couple of Lake Macquarie yachtsman taking on the race to Lord Howe. "Inner Circle ( D. Cooney & K. Robinson) & "Aurora" ( J. Holley)

East Coast Cat 2, LMYC offshore and major Lake events only.

Excellent stuff, so we'll see you at the start of next years HcW then Vego??

He did say Major Lake events only. HCW

Vego,
What's your expected performance in the LMYC fleet?

Predictions are always dangerous. Nothing like setting yourself for criticism when you fail to achieve. Having said that boat is 4ft longer than a Mumm 30 or a Bull 9000, has a bigger sail plan and is not much heavier. Time will tell.

[vego1049]

Is a long way off at this stage. May depend upon developments in the new year.

[DAVO]

If anyone is down Toronto way on Sunday and wants to support our "000" services, join in our Champagne breakfast, very social race around Pulbah Island and charity auction at the end with asociated social activities.
Starts 0900hrs with the breakfast followed by an enjoyable day to raise money for the organisations that help us in our hours of need.

[vego1049]

A good cause. Unfortunately always difficult to convince the "significant other" to spend both Sat and Sunday on the water. Is Roger doing a cameo in the chopper?

[Edake]

Just sent you a PM

[Wrinkly]

speaking of coffs...who off the lake is in...so far, I know of Hell Razer, Frantic maybe, a Masram 30 ...can't think of the name...belongs to Tim Royle, my Carter...anyone else??


Ps...I am after an extra crew for both ways

[DAVO]

I believe the chopper will be there but Rog is land & water bound. There are rumours he may be acting out a Pirate routine. Lots of novelties going on in the background.

Tim's boat is called Waitoo.

We're looking at doing it too but are currently coming up short in the crew department

[DAVO]

30 miler this weeekend out of Toronto, Lake Macquarie.
NOR on the web site. RMYC Toronto
Come join us!

[DAVO]

I hear a IOR Farr 40 may come on the market
Apparently the Skite plates are getting too heavy and the owners don't have big enough trophy cabinets!
Nevertheless, Hobart is next.

Would have to be the best (IOR F40) on the market . New rig / sails and a respray.

[DAVO]

Yep!
New stick, main, masthead kite and a couple of genoas on the way.
PLUS Cat #1 compliant.
Offers???????

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

does she still have the super fast turbo diesel donk???

I know a few people that would go with you lot. Whats wrong with the normal crew like gus and the likes.

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

could still be in hobart or on the way there, that and work commitments i think

[SurfIt]

What about the guys off the old High Anxiety they have plenty of miles under them. Even the old Tow Truck boys might be interested.

[rowdy]

Yep!

PLUS Cat #1 compliant.

I'd pay $85 or $90K for such a boat, maybe more depending on survey. A tough old warhorse like that with a gift rating, new rig and new carbon wardrobe - a bargain at that price.

[vego1049]

RMYC 30 miler yesterday. How did it go? Wal first to finish followed by Stealthy. Poor numbers?

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

27~ finishers, fairly piss poor result i would say

link to results

[DAVO]

Disappointing! Vego
Do you know what happened to "Wings"?
BB said they were coming to play.
Considering the invitation went out to all clubs it seems again that support for other yacht clubs has gone by the wayside
A big thanks to all that did come out.
Weather probably had an impact but I didn't realise there were so many fair weather sailors around!
AND,
Where were you guys Gorn?

I know it's no excuse Davo, however if it's any consolation John Hunter Hospital was quiet also.

playing with assy's

[DAVO]

Interclub R.K Robertson on next week ending at Wangi sailing club.
Always a good social atmosphere provided by the club afterwards and plenty of hard fought tussles on the water.
Usually a downwind finish.
A good spectator sight on the bank outside the club.

[DAVO]

Lake Macquarie 50 miler in a couple of weeks, though you wouldn't guess as there is little advertising or promotion.
Looks like numbers may be down again.
A shame, a good long race to take in the many parts of Lake Macquarie.
Anyone out there going?

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

ill be watching from my place with a keg

[DAVO]

ill be watching from my place with a keg

If we are going anything like we did in the 30 miler I'll be stopping in!

[Mr Fisto]

Yes the wangi RK. It will be a nice spectater viewing for a running finish if we still have some of these strong NE winds. I hope they still have the club power boat to bring us in to the club after the finish

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

Current forecast says it will be a decent kite run to the finish, will be good to race against you guys again Mr F, been missing you guys for this first half of the season

[Mr Fisto]

Ok who going in the 50 miler. One big day on the race course. Is everyone going in it?

[Wrinkly]

I am sitting here with steel rods sticking out of my toes after an operation a week ago. I went in the overnighter last week and pulled out with a foot that swollen beyond recognitio0n and my drug supply depleted. Will see how I am later this week...but doubtfull....guess sailing is not what the surgeon meant by bed rest.

standard racing 10 hull with a 10.6 rig and keel

[Heaven can wait]

cheers,

[geeaah]

[vego1049]

Shipping schedules changing by the day. Changing ships in Durban (South Africa). Arriving approx 16 or 26 January 08
New Fathom? Bigger? quicker? - than a Sydney 39CR?

C, you'll just have to convince GC to hang around for the second half, non of this pulling out at half time mate.

I'll have to come up and have a Beer with you soon, heaven knows I can just about walk home from there.

Welcome to CVB all the same C and Merry Christmas - it's not a bad place to live.

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

What is the new Fathom.

Vismara 46, thats the actual boat in the link as well, apparently it has a hole in it somewhere tho, after an incident in the middle sea race

Bigger yes, faster...yet to be seen

Whatever happened to

Matika II (Nev Hines) (numerous sydney hobart entrant)
The Sweeney
Tobacco Road
Grounds For (F37)
Piccles
Christopher rabbit

which were at LMYC in the early 80's?

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

shall do some research and get back on that topic, and do you mean Piccolo and not Piccles??

[supine]

which two LMYC boats got a little friendly at the top mark on saturday?

No idea. From memory Tobacco Road (flush desk Adams 11.9?) was the gun boat in it's day. Had a feeling the Sweeney might have been a Farr 11.6. Piccolo of course was the Farr 1104 that won Hobart in the mid to late 70's.

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

Fathom and a Northshore 34, looks like the pulpit and all stanchions on the port side will need to be replaced, as well as a decent whack about where the drive would sit

[vego1049]

Best of luck to Daz, Davo, KenS and the boys going south on Inner Circle.

Right on from memory.
"Tabacco Road " was owned by John Towner? think it went North. Used to have a hell of a stink with XPT (adams 13?) back in those days. "Styx" may have still been around in those days too?
"The Sweeney" was a Farr 11.6 owned by John Church. Think it only left LMYC in recent years? (Ali Baba, & Quo Vardis also used to be in the lake, all 11.6's)
Matika II from memory was Nev's boat prior to owning "Grounds For" (divorce!) Great looking burgundy yacht.
Piccles would have to be "Piccolo"
And "Christopher Rabbit" went down on Alice!?

[DAVO]

Best of luck to Daz, Davo, KenS and the boys going south on Inner Circle.

Thanks
Looks like our chances will be in our division only with winds behind us. But as everyone is saying, tactics are really going to be a major influence. The book will be open right to the end I imagine.

there were a few Piccolos, A Farr 1Ton centreboarder included,
in the 80s i also sailed on the Dubois 3/4 tonner Piccolo

[Wrinkly]

The Sweeney is still in a pen at LMYC and is currently for sale...what is her history, how does she go??

3 months later, several shipping cancellations and serious issues with the local RTA the 1D35 has finally arrived. CB (co-owner), TDribble and myself were at Marmong this arvo as "Hippie Chick" appeared. Should be out on the water by Sunsail.

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

Good to hear Vego, always a good feeling when they're finally yours to play with, after your shipping woes it sounds like we got extremely lucky with how smooth ours went. What were the issues you had with the RTA?? they might not like sumthing we're planning either

Have heard about 2 possibilities for the new Fathom, 1 could be faster, the other could be a step backwards in terms of speed, you guys going to join the latter part of the pointscore and the full thing next year?

Going to stick with the etchell for rest of season. Looking at Sunsail, Sydney / Crowdy head / Newcastle and friday nights with the new boat. Unlikely to be ready for LMYC Pittwater offshore. No decisions about next year yet. Towing company was stopped twice by the RTA over 2 days trying to leave the docks at Glebe island. The first time was not allowed to continue because for inadequate signage. The second time had to modify trailer to reduce mast overhang at the rear.

Only 4 starters for the return leg of the offshore race yesterday, any1 know the story here???

Any other lake boats thinking of doing the Sail Port Stephens Regatta in April??

[DAVO]

Gorn,
What was that dark hulled yacht cruising around on Saturday?
New Yacht to the lake or just a visitor. Didn't get close enough to identify it.

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

We were out cruising around and drying sails, went past green point at the same time as Wallop rounded that mark for the first time so it could have been us, didnt see any other dark hulled yachts out there

[vego1049]

Sunsail next week. Another lake regatta that has seen better times? Clashes with Audi which has the potential to effect numbers. Rig went in today so we should be there for the debut run. Any one else in?

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]
