Some of my old sailing photos 2

[chorus1]

Coyote is right now at Marseille vieux port and never went in US.... as far as i know May be a sister name ? (I'm talkin about the grey then black painted1Ton Beneteau, AC with B.Troublé, 84)

Architects : Berret, Fauroux, Finot

MOONRAKER in Larry's photo - Beneteau One Ton IOR

My understanding of the history of this boat.... (please correct, or add)

Designer: Barret/Fauraux/Finot

Builder: Beneteau France

1984

2) Coyote was sent to San Francisco and she was also quite visible in the San Francisco racing scene (B. Trouble?!?). Now located in Hawaii...

With several boats nearing the finish line, the boat in the center, nearest the camera, was Moonraker (35119). Her owner was Nils Muench. DYC. This was not a Mac race.

I don't recall Moonraker's designer or length.

.

I do believe this is from the One Tons held by Columbia Yacht Club July 1987. I think the boat in the lead is another Beneteau owned by Al Henning (R.I.P) named Poltergeist. His spinakers where always white with just a little red at the shoulders. I did enough time looking up at them whilst trimming them.

Indeed this is the '87 NA's. I think the lead boat w/red shouldered kite is Amazing Potato owned by Peggy & Lyn Comfort (the transom is J/N-ish). Also the Spuds had UK sails while the Geese had Sobstadts until the boat was purchased by Robin who then went w/UK.

Now we need the shot of Sudpackt. (sp?) and all that camo!

 

[Larry]

This was Joel Billens, regular crew aboard Al Henning's Poultergeist. Great guy.

I read that Joel passed away some months ago. RIP, Joel.

RE COYOTE

There must be a sister ship in Europe. We go past COYOTE every Friday here in Hawaii at the Ali Wai Fuel Dock. There is no black on it though?!?! My understanding is that she came straight from San Francisco to Hawaii.

Third attachment is racing in San Francisco.....

Forth shot is very recent in Hawaii.....

cheers!

Coyote AC 84...... oops, AC was in odd years!

I believe there were 2 Coyote Bénéteau One Tonners.

Was one of them branded as Xeryus when Bruno sank her at the Needles during RTI? Which year was that?

Some of the old Poltergiest crew are dropping Joel off at Greys Reef this years Mac, racing on Hasten.

I'll need to have a Miller lite for Tom and a Becks for Joel.

Xeryus hit the wreck at the Needles in 1985 RTI.

There where 2 Beneteau 1 tonners in the UK AC trials that year, one became Phoenix after E Warden Owen and crew sank Graham Walkers Indulgence and the other was Fever ( on which I was foredeck)

 

[cms]

Phoenix started life as Rubber Duck. Not sure what happened with her after the charter. I did the 85 trials with the Sherriff of Nottingham on the Frers 41 Charrua, then sold my soul to the Irish.

 

[Larry]

Black Star. M. Wood, Miami FL. Cook 40. 1984 SORC Class E, rated IOR 30.4. St. Petersburg to Boca Grande and Return, near finish.

Don't forget a Miller Lite for Al and once we hit the island mucho Monte Gay & Tonics for Dana!

The Xeryus which sank was a Farr one-Ton (of that time's OT rating). don't remember if it was built by Beneteau or Jeanneau one-off dept. Might well have been Beneteau though.

 

[chorus1]

WE definitively talk about the same boat.

Here is a photo in Marseille probabely 2007...

Probaably the boat has been originately repainted and sent to Frisco ???

Cheers

Xeryus was a two tonner (c.43ft), afaik Beneteau one off dept, and it was the 1989 RTI. I remember it well, we (Phantom) were quiet close behind them and saw them hit the wreck. The helmsman (David Barrow) asked "where the fuck do I go now". The answer was easy, "inside". Once the position of the wreck was known, getting out of the tide was so much easier.

 

[Spar Wars]

1976 Contention 33 3/4ton..Originally "Patriot". Peterson design. This picture is while it was mine: Spar Wars I on Lake Charlevoix. Boat had some good race history around Block Island. Other names: American Blue

Second picture @ Ugotta Regatta in Harbor Springs. 1992?

Boat loved waves...but a handful downwind...the IOR death rolls! My Olson 30 is much more fun!

Saw a sistership in Portugal a couple of years ago. Now that is a tight ass!

[nunocrzt]

Hi all,

I have been following these threads for months nows, and all I can say is they're fabulous. As a matter of fact I know the green contention. It's called Contentious spirit and there is also a sister ship to it: it's called Skulmartin and it's at the moment at Madeira. The last did lots of regattas back then but if I recall it correctly didn't have great results.

Here's a pic of Skulmartin and two more from which I know nothing:

Good memory Spennig !!!

Attached a photo of the 2 Ton Xeryus B.Farr design.

I remembered too that for her second AC Coyote was renamed Xeryus and so painted black according Givenchy black logo. Some changes were done too to optimize rating (Less sail area, shorter waterline, new rudder..)

Attached photo XeruysOneTon

Xeryus was a two tonner (c.43ft), afaik Beneteau one off dept, and it was the 1989 RTI. I remember it well, we (Phantom) were quiet close behind them and saw them hit the wreck.
