  1. 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. 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?

  3. 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

  4. 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?

    I'll answer that myself by having a read of this 32 page thread... lots of info on all the different keels, though maybe not an terribly satisfying conclusion!

     

    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...
