How was it mate? How are the mustaches developing?

Last time I did Stanley we crossed the Dolly just after dawn in Bass Strait. They had the canting keel back then and they came racing in at a truly impressive pace and passed about half a boat length behind us going a zillion knots quicker. They then did a sudden round up and dropped everything. We thought that they might have lost someone over the side, but it turned out they broke a jumper. The boat looked magnificent at full speed.

I'm gunna use the Sergeant Schultz defense: "I know nothing!"

 

[Costanza]

Melbourne offshore sailing and the calendar for big boat racing is probably the best in the country and ORCV play a huge role in that.

It was bloody funny that Klink never realised the microphone was in the tea-pot - what a dufus! And the trap door under the kennel - hilarious.

Now entered for the '08 Sydney - Hobart so obviously still playing the game.

Maybe he had to go to the races to win a shilling or two to keep the program going?

In CDs defence; when faced with 180 cold miles on the schnoz to Stanley which isn't exactly renowned for tropical weather or indeed for much at all, why would you bother?

I have found some footage from the Stanley Festival a few years back:

so show up at the champagne, fairweather & sponsored glamour races and stay home with your bmw (or audi) when the going gets tough? yep that sounds familiar

Champagne is always a pre-requisite. Glamour is a given too. Fair weather not as much of a problem as the Audi has four wheel traction control.

I must say though, there has been a disturbing infiltration of cheap sparkling wines at regattas in place of the preferred Champagne, or at least Methode Champenoise.

As much as I'd love to agree with you, they already qualified for Hobart, so why bother ?

Sorry chaps. I meant 'prerequisite' - the spell checker on the computer on my golf buggy didn't pick that up.
