  1. That is funny. I wish I had picked it up. I was too busy wondering whether it was possible to make any assumptions about their ethnicity from their surnames.

  3. Happened last week between Fiji and Noumea. That makes two I have heard of in the last 5 years. The Hydrovane would drive a 44 ft boat and uses a completely independent separate rudder, even comes with a tiller that can be added for emergency steering.
  4. Stunning Could be a good thread, best place you have been, and since we aren't all as good as Booboo commercial videos welcome
  5. From a racing point of view, at a bottom mark light wind pile up, my preference was always: come in fast, go outside everyone , get out fast. As only one or two boats are going to win the dogfight, you are guaranteed a top three position heading into the beat.

  7. All good , but we did it live a couple of times about 3 years ago
  8. Had a look from the outside and carried on. Brave I am not.
  9. Exactly, and my wife gets very nervous going under bridges, it always looks like you'll never make it till you are on the other side.
  10. Thanks, I'm 2.8m , should be Ok.
  11. Anyone know the limiting depth and mast height? Could I get BP through there?
  12. Google translate says it is diesel fuel, go figure.

  14. I make that mistake all the time
  15. If my boat looked that good after 12 months I'd be ecstatic
  16. Sounds like a competent crew to me. pan , not a mayday.
  17. One of the best turnouts I had was a panel of 3/4 who had had to abandon boats, get into rafts, been overboard etc. They told their stories and answered questions. Could the market stand that one again?
  18. Good spotting LO, I like that one.
  19. KM will make a deposit to Matt's account
  20. Paul Elvstrom was widely respected and is responsible for one of the most famous quotes there is about sportsmanship. Never heard him called a prat.
