After the flogging they got in last years Stanley Race, the smarter ones are doing Sydney-Southport as their qualifier this year. Quite a number of Vic yachts in that one.

Okay yes we blew a forestay, but I wouldn't say that last years Stanley was a flogging; 40kts max with no real waves. Beach weather...

only 4 Vic boats in S2S but 15 in S2H needing to qualify.
Are you heading up to GC to greet Mrs Sportscar?
I assume Patriot is staying up that way for the rest of the year. Perhaps Hamo?

4 + Jaffa which is listed as WA but has sailed out of RYCV for several years.
Mrs is on Patriot and our son is on Jaffa, so this year I'm staying home with Miss Year 12 as she approaches the business end of her school life.
No Hammo scheduled for Patriot this year, plan is for her to be back home by the end of August.

I was at the RMYS marina the other day and noticed a Sydney 38 tied up there. It has no name or club marking on it. It has a black (carbon) wheels and black covers. I don't recall any S38's with black wheels listed, so I wonder which one it is. Have not asked at the club to see if it's a new purchase by a member.
Anyone know anything?

Oh phuck, you are right.
The day before Chutzpah 38 pulled into that very pen the day before and when I first saw this boat I thought it was Chutzpah. For some reason I thought Chutzpah had a red wheel and the day before it still had it's name on the sides, so I assumed that it was not the same boat.
Now when I look at the photos I took at the AWKR, I realise it is Chutzpah.
Normally when the names are removed from the sides of boats you can still see the name until the hull has undergone a serious polish in a yard. So I assumed wrongly that it couldnt be Chutzpah.
I hope it's a RMYS member who bought her. Curious to see how a S38 goes in our elderly fleet.

I think there are a few pending protests about the start.
We were out sailing in a club race when"Blue Chip" motored through our fleet with half a spinnaker flapping around at the masthead. I guess they were heading to the comfort of their marina to deal with it.

LOL
I was also down in Mornington and the mooring were almost empty apart from a couple of boat on moorings close to the breakwater. Is that normal for winter or has everyone run for shelter or hauled out because of the forecast?
BTW found another S38 with a black wheel, Obsession at MYC. It's still on a mooring.
