johnMi 2 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm getting new one. JT Spars is making it for me, but he's under a lot of pressure with other work, and then I decided to complicate things with designing a canting rig system... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Don't stress about it John all that extra power will probably rip the old girl apart anyhow. Just buy Kan't know and be done with it Link to post Share on other sites
johnMi 2 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 No Offender, that's one thing I'm sure about, she's as solid as a rock, maybe heavier than I would wish but still a dream to sail. That's why Kant Know would be such a nice boat. A dream to sail AND a light boat. (not much difference in weight, and 8 ft longer.) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well im not going to try and push to get on a boat so im available to take photos now especially as my nice camera has arrived. Who would I talk to about possibly getting on a comitte boat? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I just put the entry in for the Borderline, who else is coming out to play. We had a good turn out last year with 13 boats, it would be great to be even bigger this year. The boats from last year were CREEPY CRAWLER PUTIKI EXPRESS CAPRICORN OCEAN PACIFIC WHIO RENTAL VOOM BORDERLINE PREDICTWIND.COM DIRTY DEEDS ATTITUDE LUCIFER ORIENT EXPRESS Now Tigre is back sailing. The Stealth Mission will be soon and Greg pushing hard to make it should be a bloody good regatta. These are the 8.5's entered so far Tigre Borderline Attitude Whio Stealth Mission VOOM Link to post Share on other sites
johnMi 2 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 You can count Putiki Express out of the BMW. I've been waiting forever for the mast base to be re-machined by KZ Marine (1 1/2 hr job). After countless phonecalls I was told on friday it was ready. When I went to pick it up, it was done completely wrong. After I rather heated argument, I decided I had had enough, I took the mast base,and I went up to JT Spars to pick up my boat. I was going to finish the whole bloody lot at home. Unfortunately JT got quite a tirade, and I think he went off to find out what was going on from KZ Marines point of view. Meanwhile I proceeded in packing up the boat. The amas were out, and I tried to fold them by myself. Just as I was getting the port Ama into position, the Archilles tendon in my right leg snapped. Which means my leg's in plaster for 8 weeks. Two things I learn't out of this. 1. Don't do things when you're angry, adrenalin gives your muscles heaps more power than your frame can take. 2. Don't rely on KZ Marine if you're a small player. You just get pushed down the pile as bigger clients come along. The comment that caused me to finish discussions with when it could be done was when I was told "don't know what's gonna happen come Monday". In other words with the Volvo boats coming in I may as well wait forever again. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm dragging my boat North on Monday to try my luck - My understanding is they were doing my mast base at the same time as yours . Hopefully they got it right. However, if things aren't quite right I shall endeavor to keep calm for the sake of my Archillies. Link to post Share on other sites
