Awesome boat though........ for a mono. Going back to sailing the cat as soon as possible. We did Ok in the Hobart though considering the conditions do not suit the boat at all, 3rd in division(only 15min from first) and around 30min behind the Cookson 50s and slower tps over the line. Top speed of 21.8 and had a 10 min average of 16 in 30kn. Coming back from Hobart we had 3 kids on board and a couple of adults sailing downwind in 30 to 40kn with a reefed main absolutely no problem at all under auto pilot while other bigger boats near us were all over the place. Boat is super strong and stable now.(we actually rebuilt the whole hull structure around the keel and tied it all into the grid properly) We wont make much money out of it though, bloody expensive this yacht racing. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty good consdering that we managed to smash a Kerr 40, welborne 42 wedgetail and many others on line in the coastal, beat clockwork (ex general lee) to white island and generally hand out a hiding to anything else our size. The motorboat (ex squealer ex butcher) was a great buy. Does everything we need it to. And now the prep for the Round North island 2 handed continues. 40 boats on the start line next month. Great anchor-roller! I'm glad she's in good hands (which is clearly the reason for her performance!) - If she'd come to Aus she'd probably just be giving the owner fun somewhere mid fleet. Greg Elliott sure designed some fast, versatile, attractive boats... I love my E7, just wish she had a bit more righting moment when I single hand her... one of these days I'll get her a big sister! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you going to bring your old wooden boat over for the inaugural 2-h S2H ? and then go home in the S2A? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Going back to sailing the cat as soon as possible. We did Ok in the Hobart though considering the conditions do not suit the boat at all, 3rd in division(only 15min from first) and around 30min behind the Cookson 50s and slower tps over the line. Top speed of 21.8 and had a 10 min average of 16 in 30kn. Coming back from Hobart we had 3 kids on board and a couple of adults sailing downwind in 30 to 40kn with a reefed main absolutely no problem at all under auto pilot while other bigger boats near us were all over the place. Boat is super strong and stable now.(we actually rebuilt the whole hull structure around the keel and tied it all into the grid properly) We wont make much money out of it though, bloody expensive this yacht racing. Yeah but those 50 footers were parked at Tasman Island for 8-10 hours watching the fleet sail up and around them, the race for them started again half way across Storm Bay.

Get a grip of reality must be something in the water in Qld that suspends it Using that logic you also only put one hour a day on the first two Sydney 38s for instance who finished three hour behind you or where the two Corel 45s finished ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Livia 792 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Sorry, I should have been more clear. Well done for getting that boat down and back. Apologies My comment was aimed at the assertion of finishing 30 minutes behind the Cookson 50 etc. when you are trying to sell the boat And that is leaving alone the keel structure issue. The rest we can deal with later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would love to but we just don't have the budget for a big campaign. Sponsorship is hard to get in NZ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
