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...
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?
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...
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.
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...
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.
The AUS TP52 seems healthy with rumours of a few more coming. Will they restart the old Southern Cross TP52 circuit again?

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?
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.
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.
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...
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?
