    Coastal 2023

    This is really tragic. Simon was my English teacher and a massive inspiration as a sailor (he sailed with Sir Peter Blake). A great teacher and a very caring kind man. I'll miss chatting at the dock. Damn.
  2. Great event. Would be epic with North Wharf filled with boats...next time. Course was ok.
  3. We actually have option to also do Akarana 350 and Bay Week as well if you're keen for more yachting. We have accom for Coastal and Bay week. Cheers
  4. 1 or 2. Pref experience on mast or bow but trimmers good too. Mixed crew on davidson 34 Option to do Gold Cup on the 15th beforehand as well. PM me Andrew
  5. Just after a new beach trailer for my Javelin. Anyone know a place to buy?
  6. There wasn't last year!
  7. hehe, it just means I don't need to work on my tacking!
  8. Yeah my brain went 8k for 1 knot is a deal!
  9. We got buried because we were trying to stay behind the line in the last 10 - in a smaller boat that's just dire. Surprised a general was not called as it was so obvious early on in the sequence. We'd been delayed already so what's another 10 min?
  10. Haha - Royal Navy: no sleeping below decks!
  11. Found someone now Cheers
  12. We've had one of our helm have to go in for surgery just before the race so are after an experienced helm to step in at short notice. PM me if interested
  13. We've had a hiccup with one of our Helm having to go for surgery just before the race so if you or someone you know (who can helm) would like to step onto a well sorted boat for this race PM me Thanks

    foredeck hatch

    After taking in about 5 buckets during the last Gold Cup I'm thinking we need a new hatch. Who has the biggest range and best support?? Any recommendations for brand? The existing one is perspex with alloy frame rubber seals about 500x700mm
  15. Hey I've got a spot available for one this weekend on Zero Tolerance. Experience pref but not essential Cheers Andrew 0274941247

    Refrigeration

    Hi team Just pulled an old air cooled wall/thru mounted unit off the icebox and would like input into best solution as these do not seem to be made any more. Options seem to be replace with isotherm unit which seems a bit more complexor chainsaw out old icebox and use a portable 12v unit. PS it's a racer that is cruised Thoughts?
  17. And yes, all I could do was shrug when boats started motoring back to the start line
  18. I have one very similar if not the same as the delta. Nice sail, nice foils. PM me if your serious and I'll take some pics

    Boat Dilemma

    My two cents having modded The Entertainer from bog stock and raced the hell out of her: go Scarlett. The keel makes a huge difference and She runs Masthead and fractional gear. They cruise better with the t-keel too. 930s are just so much bang for buck and lots of knowledge around which people are happy to share. They still get out in fair number too at times all be it in different configurations. Part of me is tempted to buy Scarlett...
