gybeset, well maybe u get your information right before you start quoting stuff u don't know about, that photo is of the old skeencraft, that does not have a canting keel, i was refering to the new one
well that lambourne canter you can take from that list, apparrently it has that sinking feeling, and it didn't leave brisbane. other comments made by the owner was that it had too little lead in the keel, too little sail area and the ruuder gudens broke in only 5 knts
well the boat boat sorro is sailing is not a carwindine boat it is a lambourne 8, designed by david lambourne and the lines cleaned up by andy dovell, there is two for sale, the one you saw sorro with, it used to have a taller carbon rig but is being used for ther new 8 mtr canting keel sports...
hey knuckles good to see u have your boat sailing good luck next week end, give them heaps, warning watch out for a pod of lambourne's swimming, wave to them for me
you always hear about mini 6.50's getting built to do the mini transit race but when are the sailors behind these boats going to form a group to make it easier on themselves to be able to compete in such a hard class, or to even see equivalent races run in the same boats here in australia
i see no one has all the correct info on the surf to city, rush was the old young 780, they did very well to sail as well as the did but skreencraft (the old boat) crashed had on the bottom near couran cove, rush stood by skeencraft untill the crew were back on board, it then took another 40...
