Kiteroa 8 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 We could have a thread where people can post pictures of their upside down multi. I've got a nice sequence on mine coming back up! It's pretty much a fact of racing a raft. At some point you're going to flip it. Its not the ideal time to be making comments such as these. Fair call, and I know how you feel as I've been there with my GBE. Just fix it up and carry on. At least not being on your boat at the time, you escape with only material damage and no long term worries about pushing the boat hard again. But the chance of having a swim at some point is high. To argue that it's never going to happen is a bit unrealistic. Much like racing motorbikes and being completely confident about not falling off. Which is possible, if you're slow and safe, or very very talented. Take Rossi for example. TW and Rossi both had a very good run till the other week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 TW and Rossi both had a very good run till the other week. Can they still get insurance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrWolf 0 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Its finally starting to look up a bit on the Timberwolf front. The forlorn pile sitting at Okahu may be able to finally get worked on. Once again I can only say how fantastic it is having so much support from all the other Multihull members who have offered freely their time and efforts. And a very special thank you to Neil Bailey, there simply isn't a harder working Insurance Broker out there. Let the work begin ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrWolf 0 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Are you going to be able to repair the ama MW, or do you have to make a whole new one? I think we decided it was beyond repair the day after he came up on the hard. There is also some serious structural damage to the Starboard side as well that won't be fully revealed until we get the deck off him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 That's a pisser. Is it going to be easy to replicate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a look a couple of weeks ago and wondered. I thought that if you repaired you'd end up with it significantly heavier.( which you wouldn't want I'm sure.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I guess that proves plywood has no place in the marine environment either.. except on a piedy of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
