darkside 61 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Anyone remember this when it was a fantastic looking and quick enough RTW racer? Needs a bit of TLC tied up in Genoa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Looks like someone has spent a lot of time and money making it into a heap of sh*t. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 322 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The top one is the Condor of Bermuda (old Heaths Condor) the vanished timber and the second one is the Ron Holland design fibreglass one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 If I have the right boat, It looks a damn sight better than it did on a reef. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkside 61 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 I first saw her in McMullen and Wings shed (1980?) with a massive hole in the side. I saw her again on the dock in Sydney before the start of the Hobart race and couldn't pick where the hole had been. Nice repair as its hard to hide rough workmanship in varnished mahogany.
