Mate I told you how much it was going to cost to lift it out - We will find your wallet and credit card if it is on board so you can pay!

Never had that problem when we had farnatic! Good boats and great fun racing - 4 at Sandy for a while - Spaghetti Factory, Bolero, Farr Better and Farrnatic!

Hey sportscar what is the sail number of the yellow boat in that pic? when was that photo taken? i think it is a 740 sport.

That's not financially feasible and in my mind is stupid - 10,000 hours and kills old boat regents. You could stand under a cold shower for over 3 hours tearing up 50's for that amount! Why would you? No I am talking about a minimalist cost regen of the class - 1 set of sails per year, minimal boat alterations from original design versus handicap etc.

Where are all the old quarter tonners in Aus? Europe seem to have a collaborative qt scene - why can't we? this could be a reasonably affordable and fun scene.

Great! I'll arrange the sign writer to put a big 7 logo on the sides and I'll register it at cyca. May have half a chance

Seriously I have been in sailing for a long time, but when are we going to come up with new boats and designs in Australia to race. The S-H race is full of boats that are at least 3 years old in design and much more. All the maxi's are at least 5 years old. Bring over the vendee boats to make it interesting.

The Great Wall of? Keeps the rabids out, son!

Would you expect less from our dicktator! apparently only relaxed his harder stance of "shot on sight at the borders" on CHO Brett's recommendation as it is Christmas?

Hey mon, what did u expect for a fifty percent special for this quote only if u sign yesterday? thats what u got isn't it?

speaking of Sydney / Hobart icons, "Willo" of Bacardi fame passed away during the week. Condolences to the family.

Dark Knight - "and your point of difference from normal being???"

Owner to bowman - "No, when you overheard me saying - "she likes a big strap on up front, I wasn't talking about the boat..."
