The Australian Sailing and RQYS Kabuki Theatre Thread

[Livia]

RQYS could write the new owner a letter.

 

[Livia]

Still an excellent boat though.  Def one of the fastest and best set up offshore capable TP 52s in the country.  The broker will likely be very busy, for a short while!

To race where exactly!

 

[jack_sparrow]

Does the bespoke hardstand on club land go with it...or does that also disappear with Commodore entitlements? 

 

[Recidivist]

To race where exactly!

Rob Hanna had no problem, and neither did Matt Allen.

 

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

After Hooligan / Patrice,  Celestial & Envy are the next newest in the country I think, could be wrong. 

I thought SMB was one of the newer Beau Geste boats but upon closer inspection it is not.

The one that’s for sale SMB is 2009 according to the listing. Looks like Karl had one built new in 2015? Raced at Hamo but is it still in Oz & is it a TP? 
... “The rig is taller than a standard TP52 and the boom is lower. With a high potential for sail area and a deeper fin” 

 

[SPORTSCAR]

Is it for sale with the branding still on it ?

Cockwomble 2?

 

[The Dark Knight]

Cockwomble 2?

Perfect...

 

[Livia]

Too Cockwomble - should be the verb!!

From the Australian Sailing thread on AGM



Heard through the vine people have been recieving cryptic messages referencing obscure club rules/conventions. Probably just a coincidence same persons have been asking questions post AGM.  h34r:

Icebergs on their way to the surface are usually pretty fucking hard to hold down.  :lol:

Seems 1/2 yearly charges for berth holders went up by 30% today.

Apparently the marina has been losing money even with Covid rent relief.

So is it true that the Sailing Manager at RQYS reports to the Marina Manager?

I'm sure you'll get an honest reply

Which also means the value of each berth will probably go down too.

Can't go down from zero!

There just a liability until 2041.

So 592 members keep the whole place going and pay for poor administration.

It’s a rhetorical question!

True.

In the middle of a recession and pandemic what do you???? Price gouge people but worse, those who have already been gouged. A list of very descriptive names comes to mind.
