JMOD 109 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 we had done a week of panerai classic sailing, which we won on all accounts. then on the first day of the worldcup we had a port starboard collision with Carron (K2, not SUI3 which is Carron II). collision mad for big damage (deck beam broken., forward hatch, shrouds, etc). We then went ahead locating the necessary repairs to try and get back in racing. by race 4 we were back with new shrouds, epoxied deck beam and a hatch that "worked without splinters, but needed to pump with the handpump constantly as the boat was leaking a lot. total damage still needs to be assessed, but that is up to the experts and insurance now. We had massive help from local shops and competing teams who lend us their rib, parts and lend a hand where needed, etc. Truly amazing support from the 8mR class community, Carron unfortunately lost her forestay and by the force of the collision mast compressed at deck level, leaving them unable to race further and a broken mast. Luckily no one was hurt on both boats. But getting the boat back on the racecourse and getting our heads together with a focus on racing for the topscores was a huge effort, making it my personal sweetest 3rd place victory. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crash 1,007 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 One of the greatest attributes of sailing is how "scalable" it is. If you have the resource (time, money, skill, whatever) then sailing around the world, or doing "classic regattas" on a classic boat are just wonderful. If you have less resources, then sailing a smaller "4ktsb" around your local harbor works almost as well. Or an old dingy around the island in the middle of a lake. All of those can be wonderful experiences. There are not many other sports that give you the same level of enjoyment, at so many different levels of resource/participation... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leuk 168 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Britton Chance/Michel Bigoin improbable child is sailing again, after ten years on the ground. We have done quite a lot of work on it already, and there's still loads to do. But we wanted to sail her asap and see what she needed. So far, she's a joy. One of the pics is an intruder. It's the hull after 1 month and a half submerged without antifouling (in the Med). Thought I'd do the experiment and see if spending time and money in that department was worth it, since the boat is out of the water 9 months per year. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So many have helped or inspired me over the years - I should pass it along! I can only say, thanks, Ish - and that this “funny kitten video” really is worth watching!! :-) I’m not into this sort of thing at all, but it’s awesome. (Making the rounds on Facebook last day or so.) Kitten Wrestlemania, for those who haven’t been lucky enough to see this yet. Sort of beats boring old sailing pics. Turn up the volume LOUD! https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR2kIURKT9Aqu6cjmWCwx8jZ3k41ajjnGLpouPiqlWerXwlcJVeHNU-_X2s&v=T69xNoh7lOw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
