Marshy 30 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 So which Ross 40 Was seem motoring out the Tamaki river yesterday minus a mast and who is getting some turbo upgrades? Have you won lotto Smithy and decided to build us a carbon mast intime for the Noumea race next year? Link to post Share on other sites

Marshy 30 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 I heard the boys at Doyle Rigging are fairly busy at the moment too so something good must be happening. They were even too busy to come sailing last night! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You sure it was a Ross Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Well it was motoring seriously fast, And looked like it was missing something. Not many other boats look like Ross 40's when they motor past! Saw it motor in with a white mast and it motored out with no mast, Wonder if it will motor back soon minus mast and leave with something new?? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I heard they were going to use it for a plug for a mould so wheels could build an indestructible ferro fly-bridge series? Very curious.... Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yes this boat has no mast... Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I might be forgiven for thinking Smithy isn't going to be able to afford installing the mast ... or even go sailing. Ain't that right Smithy Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Or maybe he hasn't got enough money to wate on shelling out for dodgy frickin' 2nd hand electronics that are out of warranty, due to the fact that there are more important things that stroking the ego of a shitty old seppo who loves to winge and can't get his head out of his own asshole. Or not .... who knows. Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 543 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I notice no one has broken any speed records in rushing to buy those Electronics at that "sale of the century" price. Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 have nothing better to do with their time than to hang out on a web site . And you are where??? Or did you post that by using Telepathy perhaps. I might also be forgiven for thinking Smithy will be checking his mailbox I really can not see him losing much sleep over "checking his mailbox" Link to post Share on other sites
