Clipper 375 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Where are multis I was chasing? I see Adrians new cruiser in there, and no one else. Hooters? Attitude? Freedom? Catabatic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 151 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Attitude's mast is horizontal at the moment for a rigging refresh (and also waiting for a new main), however i'll be helping out on the Lady Gaga Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clipper 375 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Samin and I have just loaded all the non perishable food aboard the Gale Force, just some kites to wool, the bottom to clean and shes good to go. Nice close fleet in terms of performance. Some will go well in the light, some in the heavy. Looks like a very light first 24 hours, and then slowly building, so all boats should get their sweet spot at some point. I'm excited! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fish 0 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 KM has been quiet for a few days now. He's not even arguing in any of the politics threads down in smalltalk. Does this mean the garden ornament has left the garden? Will it float? will it convey itself to Smokehouse Bay by 20:00 hrs this Saturday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The forecast for short haul and cruising divisions is looking a bit sub-optimal at this stage. "A complex low approaches from the Tasman Sea late Friday, affecting the country during the weekend". Sounds like a risk of getting rain water in the rum at the prize giving.

SMU's Crew 4 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 After getting gear together this afternoon we half jokingly thought we might pack an umbrella for the prizegiving. We don't generally enjoy rum and water... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
