Psyche 755 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 It's not a cheap sport, especially the RTW version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 454 Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Not necessarily, the Golden Globe you could enter relatively cheaply - not sure if they would accept me in a Takiri as a long keeler though? Be more fun to sail than a lot of those Double ended dungers . Or one of the steel Lidgard/Swansons built by Chris McMullen and Eric Wing maybe or one of Cecil Langes Cape George cutters would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope that’s cause heaps havent turned their bricks on yet ! As of Sunday they were down to 23 boats. We had to pull out Monday due to to 4/6 crew developing Covid - very very gutted about it, but no one is to blame, sh*t happens. Sounds like they have had another pull out as well - sad for them too!
