  1. It must of been a HUGE launch party, there is still only the one photo on FB.
  2. If you launch a yacht, do you ever yacht a launch?
  3. Only one of the launch... Perhaps some rum was consumed which has delayed the posting of more photos
  4. How long have the holes been there already?
  5. "I went fishing and caught a boat"

    Vestas collision

    This one is the old Alvimedica (source SA)
  7. So it just lifts the boom a little bit. In days of old the flattening reef pulled out the shape in the bottom of the sail as it tightened the draft control seam... I haven't seen a DCS for many years
  8. What is the flattening reef? Does it just lift the clew or is the foot not loose?
  9. Well done Pete The award is now a popularity contest based on Internet voting, I don't think it should be decided in this manner. (Boaty McBoatface is an example of what can happen)

    Did Mapfre have a similar incident in the in port race yesterday? Top mark during a gybe set
  12. You had power in Titirangi? Lucky bugger!
  13. Call it 26:1 and time to rip the top of a cold one
  14. Instead on finishing on the boom is it an option to finish at the top triple block? Are you looking for less or more purchase?
  15. 7 x 2 x 2 .... 28:1 (less friction) After more thinking.... If the compound pulley system finished at the top triple block it would be 7 x 2 x 2 but as it finishes on the boom it might be only 6 x 2 x 2
  16. 60' aluminium boat for sale in Perth, looking for a good home Racing fit out
  17. Sweet Fanny Adams... And it will be a little bit easier to gybe

    ^ For poling out the bigger headsails
  19. From memory that was advertised for A$66K in 2013. Have there been a lot of improvements? The coach roof looks different and the solar panels are new
  20. Destroyed after spending some time "stored" in the customs guy's boat In Melbourne they arranged a day/time when boats can set off flares on Port Phillip Bay. All the relevant authorities are notified, from memory it was just before the first race of the winter series (usually a glass out sitting around under AP waiting for the wind to fill in)

    Mapfre has signed Tuke
  22. I spent a couple of days watching in Sydney in 2015 before they changed to foiling cats Gybing a couple of boat lengths from the rocks you are watching from was awesome
