My 830 was faster upwind at anchor than when underway

For Blue/yellow, I guess you use one of each colour? Cant recall seeing any two tone flags at burnsco...

Go the SR! Well done

Exactly

Man that sucks. No chance of towing her?

Well done guys Wish the conditions were more 930’esque so we could have stuck it out with you

After a wet banging and crashing first night we found ourselves further up the fleet than we thought a tender old 930 should be but as the sun came up the wind started to drop off for us approaching the hen and chicks. Shook the reef out and progressively worked our way up through headsails until we were left flopping about south of the Poor Knights at midday with Moving Violation for company. We were treated to seeing a lot of the bigger boats painfully squeaking around the Knights before the lightest breeze filtered in from the NW and we managed to crawl around at about 3kts just as darkness

Ran the tape over the genny tonight. Seems to have shrunk off season; Black Gennaker Actual Luff 12600 Leech 11300 Foot 8400 .75 cloth UK sails

Just dragged a carbon class jib out of the stack that came with Mean Streak. She’s covered in rust and was built way back by Giddens but most of the hanks unsiezed with a bit of CRC - reckon she’s a race winner!

Trying my hardest not to believe any of the forecasting models ????

I also had a great run with Vivid on my 830, in the Weiti and cleaning regularly for racing. I’ve just applied the same to the 930, by airless. 2 full coats all over and a third on the waterline, bow sections and foils. Went back in a month ago, haven’t cleaned yet but a thin brown coat of slime evident top 100mm. Wipes clean with ease so hopefully will slide off when we motor out for the Enduro????

Still got both these sails, open to reasonable offers!

I’ll have to have a borrow of my missus facepalm... what page?

Maybe I’m destined to be a single handed racer?

Want to enter the above on my Ross 930 Mean Streak but short 3 crew. Ideally a bowperson would be great! Dinghy sailors would find themselves at home on this lively boat... Reliability and temperament more important than experience. Racing every second Sunday starting mid May. PM or contact me on 022 044 9171

I was told to expect nothing but Gybes on the 250 - have I been duped?

Got to say Bruce and the boys at Brin Wilson are a cut above. Happy to have had them hold my hand throughout this one

Thanks guys Entered SSANZ Anzac Longhaul with the other 930 tragics y

Decided I didn’t like the location of a certain rock to the south of Rangi Light during a single handed race a while back, so shifted it a bit. Seeing as how Murray Ross was renowned for designing overbuilt heavy shitters I continued to sail it for a month with the kids on board before finally deciding to pull her out and have a look. What followed was three weeks on the hard whilst the good folk at Brin Wilson’s removed and reattached the dangly bit and I took the opportunity to scrape 20 years worth of Antifoul back to the Gelcoat and start the underbelly process properly. Even with all th
