One vacant spot, Who's getting that?

Quite a good fleet, few missing tho

t

I'm surprised Lou's not in there. Can't have it without him can they? Still I suppose a Sydney 38 is a bit small for that company.

Thanks FB for the info (and abuse), sorry I didnt read your post above, but then hardly anyone ever does!
who is the owner of said Shamrock ?? Staying local ??

Are you at SYC tomorrow?

Joff = Muppet

Don't suppose you had a drink at opening day by any chance did you ?

 

[rossco]

OK. I can't help myself.

Foreground (in the pit): Reichel Pugh design 121 "Shockwave 36"

Behind: Reichel Pugh design 123 "Seaquest 36"

The bulb on the Seaquest (approx 2500kg) weighs more than the total weight of the Shockwave including rig and Cat 6 safety gear (2477kg).

See above post. Its 47' not 50' which goes part way to explaining your delusions of adequacy regarding the contents of your shorts
The South Aust alloy rego plate on the stbd side of the transom is the giveaway as to its original identity.

Add to that Living Doll 11, XLR8, & Shamrock (ex SMB2), when they come out to play too, there should be some pretty close exciting racing this season.

Back in town for the summer season. See Slamrock (SMB2) is rigged and ready to go will see if they race on saturday as well as XLR8. When they stepped rig

on Slamrock she left the slip and promptly hit the bottom and stuck for 15 mins needed 2 boats to be towed off. The first race for the 38's with their mast head spinnakers be interesting to see if they have improved.

See you all on the water.

Chutzpah and Dekadence have the same IRC rating, interesting....

Other than that, the DK46 really does stand out as the odd one of the division.

Where is Smooth Criminal? I check in on this thread and I thought that it was going to be the "Check-Your-Trousers-Blink-and-You'll-Miss-Me-Div-0-Slayer" this season.

Are the Vic. S38's doing something different to the NSW S38's re masthead the spins?

at last check, The S38 OD class had voted against the m/heads.

 

[Sandgroper Yachting]

From the Front Page - Is the Farr 55 design the new Michael Hiatt ride?

Correct to be splashed 8th of October , Cookson's NZ if on schedule, Then maybe coastal classic race & back to royals or back to royals & Stanley Race?

So did it get splashed on time?

Where are the photos?

The rig has not arrived (supposed to be stepped 2 weeks ago), so could not measure for IRC.

In the launch area at Cooksons. Going in today apparently. Haven't seen any pics.

Racing in IRC fleets. I think by the end of the season the majority of VIC 38's will be masthead.
