    Sydney to Hobart 2020

    Is it a sure sign the S2H is off when this thread turns to commentary on overseas quarantine rule?

    Sydney to Hobart 2020

    The race won't proceed unless there is a major change in thinking by the Tasmanian Gov't about how they are managing the apparent rampant COVID risk on the mainland.  Common sense would suggest you remove all the State borders now the virus is either none existent or suppressed in almost all...

    Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

    Ran into one of the guys off Ambition last night. They had a new keel half built and were planning full campaign for 2019/20 when CD got an offer he couldn't refuse.  It all happened very quickly. Nothing planned to replace it as they weren't expecting to be boatless.  Nice problem to have I...

    Nice ride for the Extasea lads.   Sounds like one more TP on its way too.  What's the update with Ambition?  It's not listed anymore on Ancasta so has it sold?

    Aust Sailing Australian IRC Championships

    Whether Hooligan was going or not is irrelevant, the fact is at least 3 TP52s are now not going because of the bullshit requirement that the Sydney Hobart in Race 1 in Div 1.  Let's not sugar coat this as the same mistake was made last year, which they tried to change way to late,  and you'd...

    Pretty good result for the guys on Ambition in the Gold Coast race in a hot fleet of TP52s and IRC boats.

    Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

    And you seem surprised you had these issues when you bring a very deep draft boat to Geelong and race it in the inner harbour? Us cruising division boats found it somewhat funny.

    Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

    Carrera (Marten 49) from my side of town.  Add it to the TP, Rush and PC, then at least there are a few.  There will will 5 TPs at the AYC at PCs home club if they wanted to play on home waters.

    Maybe they haven't noticed but someone needs to tell the guys on Primitive Cool there are a few other 50 footers have arrived on the bay since October.  Perhaps it's time to come back home and help build the fleet  :ph34r...

    Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

    CD's new boat looked bloody pretty sweet in the breeze on Saturday afternoon.  Must have been doing 20knots as it flew past us heading downwind in the last race.

    Didn't CD get out of big boats due to young kids?  Maybe not him but someone else then?

    The AUS TP52 seems healthy with rumours of a few more coming.  Will they restart the old Southern Cross TP52 circuit again? Already here Hooligan Ichi Ban Balance/Quest M3 Envy Scooters Koa Highfield Caringbah Gweilo Celestial Frantic SWD Duende Secret Mens Business Rumoured to be...

    Only had it for 6 months.  Surely a story as to why it would be for sale so soon.

    Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

    Was driving up Beach Rd two night ago to see a rather larger boat (looked a bit like the old 65 ft Brindabella) aground of Beaumaris beach. Anyone know how it managed to get itself there?

    Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

    Listening to some of the old SYC members at my club now, it would appear that Sandringham has been taken over by "non-sailing members" with many of the "sailors" heading for other clubs due to the unfriendly, super commercial feel of SYC now-a-days.

    2013 Sydney to Hobart

    Blowing a steady 40-50 knots from the WSW down the Vic peninsula now. Sure will be a fast reach along the Tassie coast tonight for the 50-60 footers for those who have set up for this.

    Shogun V Dismasting: Ending the Misery?

    Give Rob a break. He's been the most active owner in Vic for years now. PPP, I'm not sure there is another Lou on the horizon. The shoes are just too big to fill? The list of possible's doesn't read well so maybe you need to re-adjust your criticism of Rob H. Phil Coombs - new boat and...

    Boat 1 for sale, boat 2 not sailing, and boat 3 deal falls through. Are there issues or should we just stay calm?

    Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

    Anyone know who is apparently looking at the 2012 TP Audi All-for One to join the growing band of boats here in Melb? Is this boat a sistership to Shogun?

    What happened to Quest and Rags? Or is it just the usual Sydney line of "I could not be farked racing in Melbourne"?
