  1. Not to mention an anderson bailer would create drag
  2. Originally I wanted to do just that- drill a hole in a low angle a d epoxy in a pvc tube slash cut underneath to let the rushing water vacuum the excess out. I mean the plugs only in there when you're sailing and by rights that should mean you're moving forward? But Ive been told that doesn't work on a 930. What kind of 1 way valve can you get for a tube - buy a warehouse snorkel and cut it down?
  3. Lost our outboard well plug coming home from the windy SSANZ 100 and have had to make a new one. Need a method of draining residual water trapped after fitting it and my tame Serbian 930 owner friend informs me a venturi style bailer is the go. Does anyone have such a thing taking up space at home?
  4. You never seen a cat with a leash before?
  5. You'd be glad its not a GHYC/Weiti race then Jon... 4 weeks ago the start boat got hit... 2 weeks ago the finish boat... I'm picking someones going to hook the wing mark this Sunday and haul it all over the gulf
  6. I've found mine to be Bipolar at best
  7. I seem to recall a lineage of boats for the original owner: Wasted Away Wasted Away Again Margaritaville All purported to be Ross boats? Could just be urban legend though...
  8. If there was a yellow division you could run one of those super absorbent kitchen cloths, could damn near clean up a whole bottle at a time! But on a 930, one decent gust and you'd be 10kg out of balance on one shroud...
  9. Why are all the Y88's only doing the short course? Is it because they are less comfortable than 930's, 830's and SR26's?
  10. That is some great footage. That current!
  11. My 830 was faster upwind at anchor than when underway
  12. For Blue/yellow, I guess you use one of each colour? Cant recall seeing any two tone flags at burnsco...
  13. Man that sucks. No chance of towing her?
  14. Well done guys Wish the conditions were more 930’esque so we could have stuck it out with you
  15. 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
  16. 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
