Finally some progress. New carbon mast section underway for Timberwolf Many thanks to Adrian Pawson for his help on getting me some of the Intermediate Modulus Fibre we are using

Here is the best photo I have of the most awesome boat you could ever dream of owning. Through Timberwolf I have met some amazing friends and in Bryan Roberts a great friend who has stuck by me and the Wolf every step of the way. This Photo shows Bryan and I competing in the last Simrad race. As you can see I was pushing the boat far too hard, and as Tim Clissold likes to say I was "sailing it like I'd stolen it", but during the leg to Channel Island we had smoked past Charleston , Taeping and also Wired and only had 888 ahead of us. You bet I pushed the boat hard, and sailed it i

Timberwolf can be purchased either in As is Where is condition or if required I can build a new taller rig, fit new rigging and halyards as required, as well as fit new Main and #1 Jib. Timberwolf will also be on view at the NZMYC Boat Show on Sunday 17th March from 9-00 til 4-00 near Team NZ base at Wynyard Quarter in the Viaduct.

Our last sqaddy race on Wednesday was our best for a while and we had a nice handicap win. Someone else needs to own this beautiful boat. Timberwolf will reward you every time y

Step One: You can't have fun sailing your boat or tipping it over for that matter if it is tied up to the dock. Step two: If conditions are too strong for you or your boat see step one! To me this wasn't a day I had thought we would be at any capsize risk. It was around 20-25 knots most of the time before the start. We had a Reef in the main and small jib which I thought was very conservative. The forecast was for the wind to drop in the afternoon and evening. Sometime after the start we were doing the usual Downwind Rum Race Wallow where we really needed an extra up to make it f
