Bowfoil

 

Good luck to them, don't envy them though! 

 

However the Green Dragon people have been sailing around on a boat that I heard from someone very in the know wasn't fit to leave Dublin Bay

 

Ireland is full of bullshitters mate....

 

I sailed for the whole of last summer and I was there through the entire refit. We took every single bit of that boat apart and reassembled her with a lot of new gear. She was in excellent ocean racing condition. 

 

She was in good shape when I was on too, as long as you didn't motor over 6 kts.

 

True North (GD) is halfway across the Pacific, taking a minor holiday at Christmas Island. A little work on the bow was done there too, but otherwise she's nice and fit

Now has a fixed prop so that motor problem is fixed, finally! They broke a longitudinal in the bow but it is all fixed and I hear the test sail went well!!

Good luck to them, don't envy them though!

Back Betty on the water again, anybody knows what the plans are and who bought her?

Im pretty sure a few guys from malta bought her. Wouldn't go near her though. The boat has been sitting on a cradle rotting. All they did was took the mast out and put it back in, the keel rams are so rusty it wont cant

If you're a Mac user, then ZyGrib http://www.zygrib.org/ is better. I could not get UGrib to work on the Mac, and actually prefer ZY now. Plus afloat, the file sizes are a lot smaller on Zy.

I downloaded this, but once i open the downloaded file i can go no further. Any ideas. No programs shows up

more chicks...

Thats what we like to hear.
