  1. Ah - that reminds me of a club project I've forgotten all about. Coastal records from the very origin!
  2. they should add the Silveraider to that image!

  4. ah - careful about throwing stones - I think there's three words there Tom! I happen to like Takapuna - its just that its full of 'spunas' as we used to call them last century!

    No - when racing I do what I'm asked by any skipper regardless of whether I agree or not.

    Hmmm - I'd have just as much of a problem with that

    sorry - I took your last comment a little too literally I think!

    wouldn't you have a safety strop fitted in line somewhere - in the same vein as a swimsaver on a windsurfer
  9. got this from Vagabond last week and it seems very apt here!

    Was on Viva last night - you smoked under us like we weren't even there just after devonport. At after the finish I watched you bury the leeward ama in a little - pop out - jump on the foil and just take off! Seriously jealous mate!

    yup - I saw that too - its a shame I didn't have my camera with me - I saw your leeward hull pretty much foiled out of the water - pretty bloody awesome Tim.

    tim - I wondered if it would be possible to 'bolt' these tips on by sinking threaded inserts into the ends. That way you'd be able to remove during a little swim so that you can fully extract the foil. I'm guessing you've already thought of this and discarded it for some reason that's gone way over my humble head.

    Tim - What's the reason for wrapping the carbon 'under' the bearing in that fashion - are you trying to resist forward thrust or just the bearing 'squashing' the foam in some situations. Does look very sexy though! A
  15. Rob - we'll probably go round in circles on this so I'll cut it short and just answer your specific question to me

    I'd suggest that if these were to ever be fully submerged they'd probably displace less than 100kg - I hope that never happens!

    Mr. Wolf - the outer laminate is not on yet right? How are you intending to lay that up?

    who got the job of pulling off all that green tape?
  19. ScottiE

    timberwolf

    yeh - its all that heavy black s88t that's gonna get him in trouble!

    btw - love the 'white board' in the background!

    s**t wolfie - there's quie a bit more structure goin' on in there than the old ones!
  22. There ya go. She wasn't actually lost - just forgotten by most. What a shame.
  23. so this all suggests another question - where are the molds?
