waikiore 398 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Sail up to BOI Friday in Coastal, then take over new cruiser (to us)at Opua and start cleaning and making lists, hopefully get out in the bay for some sailing then back to mooring late Monday for run home in car after traffic, all going well. Forecast looking good. Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 398 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 JB wins a glass of rum - as he has designer correct, but design wrong, though very close. Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Talent muk 1, aka Talent then. and Motorbike got Townson as well so thats 2 glasses. I've sailed Talent and without a word of a lie it was a revelation in just how pleasant a boat can be from a helming perspective. Just finger tip but with tons of feel. She doesn't pitch much either , just lifts almost level over the swells. Mind you she has nothing extra on her, just as Des kept her. Minimalist. . Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Nice North Cove pic from when we used to cruise with him up there around New Year im guessing Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have sailed on that boat with Des. It is indeed a pleasure to sail. He was pretty finatical about it's sailing ability. Enjoy (Don't tell him about the new motor) Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 That photo was Easter in (08 ?)after we'd just helped him load his electrons on the back. MCC Easter rally they have out of North cove each year. Link to post Share on other sites
