Bulkhead failure?

To easy try turning a carbon spar into a wooden one.

Sounding a bit like Thatcher and Muldoon there boys. Sports and politics do mix and 40 years ago change came to apartheid South Africa with international sports playing a pivotal part in that said change Nelson Mandela was forever grateful for the efforts of those who saw human rights abuses and stood against their own governments positions to lend a shoulder in help to progress change. It’s not all about the loot it maybe for Lord Dalton but he is no longer representing NZ just my pennies worth.

Considering The PT11 complete kit including rig rudder centreboard etc is $7500 Kiwi Roubles plus shipping plus build sourcing a nicer rig for the Journeyman locally could be a coin saver. I’ll send them an enquiry and see if they would consider selling a cnc cut file into the home of the Cup but not for to much longer.

Kits hull only $5000 Nz plus shipping plus build hours makes for a expensive 11ft dink. Russel B would not see much of return on releasing a cnc cut file with the risk of plagiarism etc.

Two down thousands to go…… unfortunately.

Quite possibly.

Rod owned the W Fife? Designed Mavis which was lost on a reef near Fiji if I remember correctly she was owned for many years by the guy with one leg whose name I can’t remember. Saw Rod not too long ago here in Poncenby all leathered up on his Vincent Comet somethings never change.

This one is most certainly above my pay grade. Local lad seated Rod Dunshea and his racing Egli Vincent.

That did!

The RC166 was a wildly successful race bike built by Honda in the Sixties, equipped with a 250-cc inline-six making 65 horsepower, capable of revving to almost 20,000 (!) rpm. It was quick enough to propel rider Mike Hailwood to two world titles, and it makes a magnificent sound.

Totally beyond me as to why Dalton & Co would feed from the hand of the regime that murdered this guy with impunity.

Au contraire Armchair. TNZ chose to turn down the Council/Government $100m offer with a like and kind content Mark Dunfay kinda put another $80m on the table now with all the potential hosts running for the hills apart from the Evil Empire Dalton looks increasingly more of a greedy fool than a tall poppy. Personally I would much rather see the loot and resources poured into combating the appalling world leading youth suicide rate that we have here in what used to be the home of the Cup.

Looking like Cork is backing away as a venue for AC37 that just leaves the Evil Empire. Crikey TNZ may have to pay somebody to host the event… Hope RG kept Dunfays number.
