Guest Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Other than the results- No mention of Smokey Joe! However few mention of some of the other quarter tonners that are around Auckland still. Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Where did you find those? Any chance you can post them a bit bigger so we can have a read? or maybe it's just my eyes Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Where did you find those?Any chance you can post them a bit bigger so we can have a read? or maybe it's just my eyes If you download and open from your pc, they should be in a readable size ??!! Let me know if otherwise and I could send to you. This one is quite cool nostalgia too. Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That last one was good at 382k, but the others at less than 10k I can't read i'm afraid, not the end of my world but if you could post them larger would love to have a read. I have an affection for dinosaurs even the baby ones Link to post Share on other sites

Battleship 100 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks for a great read, a real blast from the past, these old boats deserve to be resurected and sailed hard, no wonder they have taken off overseas. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Time to get the 30 year 1/4 ton reunion going as racing sec of the 1980 series an still rs of the PYBC we should get it together the trophies are still in the cabinent the brits have been talking to me as the clsss is gathering force interested ex sailors drop me a line to info@sparloft.co.nz or Info@pybc.org.nz John Bennett rear Com PYBC past sec JOG NZ I'm there- And I'm sure I speak for The Up to 26club - we will be a supporter of any move to get some 1/4 ton racing revitalized. There was talk at a recent meeting to try and locate some of the old trophies to re-ignite the racing. I'd like to start building a mailing list of any contacts that would like to be involved in this, and any other 1/4 ton racing we can organise. Up to 26 Clubs main event is the winter series- I'm hoping we can have a wider field this year if enough people are enthused with the field. John- I'll be dropping you a line next week.

Guest Rocket Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Pretty entertaining - Grant didn't look that energetic for him..... Would wrangle the Blackfun crew up for a reunion! Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Came across one of these, very similar to the F8051 boat the other week. Sitting behind a shed under a cover. Apparently it's free to a good home. Got some deck gear and other bits. Hull seems to be sound. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 So if we were to run the SP 1/4 ton cup again next year how many entries would we get? Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Didn’t see a rig. There was a boom and some sails though. It looked like it had been fixed keel and then converted to a lifter at some point. Link to post Share on other sites
