What could possibly go wrong....

I just don’t feel like being the buy ad / show tits / fuck off guy today… Can’t somebody else do it this time?

Err - I'd be really careful about this comment. Perhaps that is why no one else had. Bruce was an Anarchist before the term was even invented. He has more war stories than most posters combined and has near mythical status in parts of Australia and PNG. Google Surefoot, PNG Admirals Cup team if you need to verify.
PWop and Sportscar might have photos.

Tadrew did not sail on Surefoot in England, he was on Dihard

I thought that was Ronald T Smith.

So…. No tits then?

Good to see the boat resurrected after lying virtually abandoned at Rivergate for years. Well of the pace for the overall now but a cracking ride for anyone looking for a quick ride to Hobart. And yes Tards is a legend among us old guys.

And here is a pic of 'Tried hard' at the AC. Photo credit Beken of Cowes.

And mast vertical, give it 30 seconds.

 

[SloopJohnB]

No the hull is under the mast.

I'll go with all hands portside in 30 sec's

Who cares what ‘hsw009’ may have done in another life? He is apparently new to this forum, and that is the traditional greeting.

Nice photo LB15. 👍

Anybody want to take a guess on what a charter might cost, # bodies and total cost might be?

 

[Next Level]

100-120k for a 50 footer

What mast did you source & what is the plan for future, regular racing?

Doesn’t look like Wedgetail got picked up for S2H this year but maybe a match race against this boat next year? https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/2007-reichel-pugh-55-8614735/
