Marshy 30 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Haha an insurance companies Nightmare! The interesting thing about that Moving Violation photo is that they had to drop the main because the spinnaker is actually wrapped around the back of the mast! Classic Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Is it too late to withdraw from the series? Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 74 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Knotme... do you think we should find another prize for the person who captures the best #$%@ up of a certain Ross 40 on either video or camera ??? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 We have had one whole sail of practice in 8 kn of wind, shouldn't be a problem. Smithy is back just before the race, expect to see us out on the harbour a bit that week. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Knotme... do you think we should find another prize for the person who captures the best #$%@ up of a certain Ross 40 on either video or camera ??? That would be just mean and verging on nasty. So absolutely a big Yes in that case Don't forget Story Tellers, Yarn Weavers and Sweet talkers. Good stories about your race count, especially those with detail of cock-ups, hot chicks (photo bonus opportunity there as well probably ) and just what was roasted along with the chicken. The Series has some great Sponsors for the racing side of it, ATL with SIMRAD being a stand out obviously, so this loot is for the off the water and/or what's actually happening onboard while racing for a fun addition to the vast array of goodies up for grabs all ready. All boats have an equal chance so get into it and go hard. Link to post Share on other sites
col j 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 were not going to purposely cock up to get this. and if we do its probably going to not be caught on camera and will be epic (like that bottom mark rounding in the 727 nationals. will try and catch some other peoples chineses during the 35 knot runs.

Changed 10 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Have you guys been hacking into their site to get the commpetition started early? Link to post Share on other sites
PaulR 3 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 oh goodie goodie goodie infiltrator is entered. if they go mast head chute they may be in the running for a chinese. they done some fully crewed. they will probably still part our cheeks on line though. I resent that. There was only 3 broaches, one on each leg, and then only one really major one. It was hard work climbing up from the guy winch to the very high leeward side, but I think we still beat you. did we knot????? Link to post Share on other sites
col j 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 ye did indeed beat us. but you had 6 onboard (2 rather heavy looking) and a mh chute on a bigger, lighter boat. we had 3 with a piddly little class legal kite. that weight on the rail made you go like a train uphill yet you were the ones who chickened out of the last race.

Guest Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 hmmmmm don't count us out of the running for a good un...... Managed one of the best hand brake turns ever just off the PCC start the other week! Relatively little mocking though for what I thought was a stella effort. Link to post Share on other sites
