Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

In what world would that yacht ever be called good looking. Farr grafted a bow sprit and twin rudders to his last IMS slab sided design and called it an IRC yacht. At least Ray is using the excess real estate for self promotion.

Who's kidding who? Dolly was never a pretty girl by any stretch of the imagination and her dowager drab colour scheme did her no favours. Best she ever looked is when they snapped the sprit off the front.

One thing's for sure about Mr Ray - he definitely ain't shy when it comes to self promotion.Why else would they call him Hollywood? And he does run a good sailing program with plenty of talent and the freight to back it up. This will be a program to watch with interest.

Pretty healthy entry list across the divisions, only 6 in Div 0, might be a few more enter.

Forecast for 10-15 so might get 2 races in to get the series started.

You'd think the Hartbreaker guys would be keen to compete plus maybe Rush...

Any truth to the rumor that the sale of Scarlet Runner has fallen through?

So another almost perfect sailing day for Smooth Criminal wasted because 4 crew who actually know what their doing cannot be found in a club with 2,500+ members.

This is now beyond frustrating.

Time to change sports.

Any serious offers on a Reichel Pugh 36 foot one-off Shockwave design PM me.

Disappointing Don, but you're not alone, many good boats looking for crew. Not sure what the answer is, I guess that's why the 2 handed series is so popular, 29 boats out yesterday.

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.
