Tense few seconds on shore waiting to see the lads come safely out the back. Boats can be replaced, lives can not.

I was not at the nationals this year, but there are two sides to every coin guys. You can not ignore that there has also been more than a few examples of generosity shown to the sailing fraternity. Looked like a great regatta.

Heat 6 - Sunday 5th April Final Results The breeze remained in the South East for the final day of competition, but had backed off to a comfortable 2nd sail. A close battle unfolded up the first work, after great starts from Allwood Sails and Andrew Short Marine. Lincoln Crown and Dimension...

Heat 4 & 5 - Sunday 4th April With another day of perfect results, Garde (Brett Hobson, Alex Johnson) has won the DB Schenker 12ft skiff national championships. The short two lap windward/ leeward course was close at the first mark rounding, Dimension Polyant showed blinding speed to get...

Heat 2 & 3 - Saturday 3rd April Day two of the DB Schenker 12ft skiff Australian titles was intense. With two races scheduled for the day and the notorious Brisbane short sharp chop coming into its own because of the increasing wind, all crews except for one decided to use their third rigs...

From http://www.skiff.org.au/ Heat 1 - Friday 2nd April Garde (Brett Hobson, Alex Johnson) has won the first heat of the DB Schenker 12ft skiff Australian titles. Racing out of the Royal Queensland Yachting Squadron, the skiffs were faced with a shifting 15 to 20 knots from the south-east and...

In the 12's, I know of several crews that have clocked over 24 knots (instantaneous). It could be even higher now. At this top end, sea-state really comes into play with such a short WL Strong breeze & flat(ish) water is the go for speed.

T-foils are one of the few restrictions in this development class. Currently they are not permitted (one of the several differences between 12’s and R-class skiffs) A T-foil would change the optimum hull shape in a big way. Look at the changes in the i14 hulls when they went that way. Agreed...

BB, Development class so it depends on many variables (Preferred design, Pro-build Vs Amateur, access to moulds, local costs of carbon, sails, etc, etc) As a (very rough) guideline; a completed Pro-build carbon Hull (raw/unpainted) with, Main fin, Rudder fin & Rudder box starts at around...

Very confusing. As the guys here will attest to, the size of crew does not old any water either. Put in whichever rig suits you and the conditions for the day. There are some pretty small physiques that have won the inters recently too. So we all agree that there are no excuses!!!!

Garde Wins Name Sake Event Garde broke a 5 year hoodoo on their sponsors name sake event, winning the sprint series regatta on a count back after a tie for first place with Lincoln Crowne. Lane Cove Framing had a stellar day out, winning the handicap. The day had all the makings of a great...

So Goat, are you commentating on board the ferry or sailing in the sprints??
