That's step 2 - Step 1 is drilling lots of holes.

I hope some locals repurpose it with a 1997 Yamaha 30hp on a timber central pod with the worlds ugliest shade / canopy & it lives forever as GB's black sheep.

The Arcohc Australis at 3.61m is all that is required for circumnavigation, EVERYTHING else is a want!

In 2,000,000nm no

Weaknesses exposed once the rig came down, hadnt been an issue up until then.

Flame me but I think the design is fine. It's the rig falling that caused the issues. Mono or multi, carbon rig or tin, most boats will get holes in them when the rig comes down in that kind if sea state.

Lost my post when I went to edit it I think? Clean there's nothing wrong with being a Journo. I think your stories are great & as balanced as any mainstream media. So wrestle with the label a bit longer but you'll come to accept it :-)

C'mon Clean you're a Journo when you want to be!

Even if it was working I'm 99% sure the owner & insurer would want it turned off. Don't want anyone else finding it.

IIRC Yes they had AIS Yes antenna was on the mast & your point?

Why do pilots always have to add some aircraft related story to a thread? It seems like every thread has some pilot posting war stories.

& I thought we where still waiting for Hitler to be mentioned?

Rich ppl read SA too!

Its not like you'd be bleeding the injectors or clearing the strainer in a mono in the sane conditions that would forbid you to open the hatch on a GB. & they have two engines, so you're unlikely to have to tend to a broken one to keep pumps / comms going in a storm.

Not only that, but how many people have checked out of the thread & won't be back to hear the true / clean's polished, cleansed & GB friendly story :-)

Please PM me ALL the juicy details ...... FAILURE to do so will hold you in contempt of court .... well in OZ ...... maybe.

I'm sure GB have a great PR guy, they certainly have a fantastic front. For all your PR needs contact [email protected]

Everyone is safe so I'd say the ACTUAL first rule of being the skipper has been satisfied. Pretty sure gunboat owners listen to gunboat appointed captains. It's the wannabe rich guy owners who cause problems.

Yep two rigs dropped in two million miles, must be a business ending design flaw then?
