Melbourne Big Boat Fleet

[Don]

"Seem to remember a Melbourne crew of amateur part time weekend warriors was good enough to hand the panties back to the "All Star" fleet at Hammo this year."
their tactician last sturday was a Sydneysider who put them OCS at the first start.

but Malato wouldn't have seen that from a div2 boat would he?

What boat is Malato sailing on? I gather from his comments it is winning.

And before anyone states the obvious, SC is not sailing the Lipton as I am in South America for a couple of weeks.

And suffering high altitude boredum?

BTW We have to stop going out in 25+ with 270kg on the rail, a little scarey :blink:

Back to the Lipton.

Word has it some of the larger participants are not very happy with the antics of a large and very new yacht during the long Sunday race.

Any truth in that rumour??

"Challenge" with mast head kite sailed well enough to finish in amongst the Div 0 boats

in the Lipton Cup. So much for Lipstick on a pig.

Probably an understatement from what I hear. The large and very new yacht was not even entered. Very poor form.

Malato:

sailing up there teaches you how to maximise your opportunities and minimise your mistakes otherwise you get caned every race.

Are you seriously suggesting that sailing in Sydney harbour offers challenging weather conditions apart from picking wind shifts and dodging fairies? And I do mean fairies.

And allow me to be the first to say it...... Fuck Off Newbie.

Hey Walrus, takes one to know one (fairies that is!)

And yes, the conditions in NSW are far more challenging than pussy port phillip. were you out during the Lipton cup with the rest of the jigglers?

and by the way, you werent the first to greet me - read post #1310 dumb ass!!!!

Hey Don, when are you back - I just want to tell some of my buddies that its safe out on the water for a little longer.

 

[rossco]

I'm thinking may be Malato is Wobble's sister?

Or maybe vice versa :lol:

 

[Flatbag]

I'm thinking may be Malato is Wobble's sister?Or maybe vice versa :lol:

More likely Wobbles "wife"

Hope to be back in time for the Jisuma/Tam O'Shanter since this is now part of the SYC aggregate.

Bye the way, whose idea was it to include this race in the aggregate? Are they trying to resurect an almost dead race by forcing boats to compete or have to suffer a race drop?

All "K" class boats cannot meet the Category 4 requirements and so are forced to drop this race, or are they to be awarded "average" points.

Trying to get a crew together for a Friday night start after having worked all day is an utter pain in the butt.

Reid Stowe's love child more like.

 

[huwp]

I understand that the new big boat has some damage from the trip over which is why it wasnt entered. Something about cracked bulkheads maybe.

As far as rating Melb to Syd and the merits of the fleets. Grow up idiot. I know I have seen chinese, prangs and breakages in Sydney and elsewhere. If you were close enough to see the carnage, then I suspect you werent at the front.

 

[Flatbag]

So it didn't come out to play. Whats the story? Could there be trouble in toyland?

I heard that the Doll did come out and play.

 

[Flippin Out]

Lipton cup this weekend - time to see who walks the walk and not just talks the talk.
After some time down here, my summation is that the "Melb Big Boat Fleet" is generally SHITE!!!!

With very few exceptions, the standard of the fleet is crap compared to the northern fleets.

sailing up there teaches you how to maximise your opportunities and minimise your mistakes otherwise you get caned every race. Last week range race was a perfect example of how the fleet down in Melb cant handle anything over a moderate port Phillip sea breeze. Retirements (maintenance issues?), round ups and chinese gybes (crew competence issues) and generall f*ck ups (including going around the wrong mark when leading div 1) are all just examples of the amatuer efforts down here.

bring it on!

Hey fuck stick, if Sydney's so fucking good, do us all a favour and get back there. I suspect Oxford Street is a favourite of yours. FUCKWIT !!!!

Dolly was out to play - Started without a hoist and made it to 100m from the top mark before dropping sails and heading back... She looked incredible!

No, we are both wrong.

Apparently they met at some place called Oxford Street, where ever that is.

Its next to Regent St and if you pay $300 you can have it !

I am reliably advised that if you pay $300 in Oxford Street you can have it too....

Really. There is this place in Old Kent Road you can have it for $60 because the $200 you pay at the next station is a rip off . So I'm told.
