RyanT 0 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Excellent news! Just to let you guys know we will be out again this week also! good to be back out yachting!! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 that awesome matty, nice work. try not to break to much, wouldn't want to put him off now and boats that have been sitting for a while tend to have some issues. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 how did it go matty? I see the results show a dnf Link to post Share on other sites
Matty 0 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It needs a little tlc but we should be much better next race. Breeze was dropping and tide was getting stronger so we called it. Massive lee helm downwind! both hands to keep the bows up, any Ideas on what causes this? the helm is perfectly balanced up wind. Maybe a bit of rake will help? Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 346 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 more board down may help a bit? We used to run the leeward board down a fair bit downwind on the St Laurence GBE, or the steering was a bit funny. Link to post Share on other sites
Matty 0 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 we did try board down, ended up prety much all the leward board down but that isn't fast vmg. Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Square top main will fix that! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Great Multi's course last night with plenty of reaching and another relatively windy night ....Tigre overtook us on the last tack coming from well back at the bottom mark... bastards! Creepy took it on handicap Link to post Share on other sites
Clive 13 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Great Multi's course last night with plenty of reaching and another relatively windy night ... Great fun with some of those good bear away moments! 21.1 on the GPS with some really good reaching heading down the harbour. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 You were smoking down wind tim, just starting to fly a hull down past devo, you were bloody hard to get around Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 yeah we appreciated it was bit tricky to manoeuvre and get the three wheeled bus up to speed in short gybes down the harbour with a reef in...rest assured we would have given way even on stbd if it had closed right up! max speeds for the last 4 races 21.7, 21.8, 19.8, 20.6kts Link to post Share on other sites
