    What do we know about the Elliott 1050’s?

    in MarineTalk

    Posted

    Meanwhile in a different part of the world recently I happened to take a snap of a racy looking boat heading out for a sail from Sausalito, California. When I made it back home I showed it to He-who-knows-more-about-boats, who agreed with me that it looks very "Elliot-iish" and a search using the Sail number of the YNZ site confirms it is indeed an Elliot 1050 Basic Instinct. Anyone know anything about how it's in the States?

    Woopsy...wrong race..i meant this to do with Melbourne Osaka.

     

    Melbourne Osaka had multiple race starts over a number of days, I guess in the hope that they all reach the finish line at a similar time. An unscheduled, race management dictated pit stop to escape Cyclone Iris may impact that though... 

    Westhaven now not wanting berth holders with permits to park at marina

    Just had a call at midnight from Westhaven security reading me the riot act for allowing someone to sleep on Sundreamer on the piles. It’s only for a couple of days and no I wasn’t aware it was against the rules as I’ve seen many people out there overnighting.

     

    Anyway he’s logging it and he can log it up his arse for all I care

    Really? That's very interesting given someone posted in the Westhaven Boat Shed FB group (for buying, selling, and making connections with other Westhaven berth holders and crew) that they are going to be living aboard a swing mooring while studying.

    Now I'm not completely sure that it's a "swing" mooring in Westhaven but thought it was a bit odd if it wasn't given where the comment was posted.

    If anyone wants a way of protesting a competitor out let me know. There is a nice flaw in the Race Docs that has opened up a good angle to have a crack if someone wants too.

     

    No I'm not going to put it here, I may need to protest you out and if I say out loud .......... :twisted: :twisted:

     

    Is that anything to do with the new version of sailing instructions added to the website as "There were some errors in the Sailing instructions loaded to the website on Friday 13 October. " 

    Or something different???

    Arbitare and Oracle still going. Vela Via finished in the early hours this morning, after taking shelter to get rid of some water and let the race management team have a few hours sleep. The Gisborne restart is under way after their unofficial 4th leg finish in Gisborne.

    I hope she stays local and you get full price SD.

    That's one hell of a lot of boat, history and fun for what seems to me to be a hell sharp price.

     

    I asked my Minister of Profit Dispersement and Shoe Accusations about having a suss only to be told 'Yeap, no problem go buy her if you like....... as long as you have finished all your other projects first'. Have I mentioned she can make a lot of sense for a fun spoiling bitch?

     

    But that's not a "No you can't"... 

    Olympic results

    What a result in the Nacra - Argentina skipper Sante Lange aged 54 winning gold in his third Olympics. Oldest sailor competing in Rio, his two sons are competing in the 49er class and he lost half a lung last year to cancer. Didn't see the incident at the top mark, and what that meant for the results, but even to be competing at such a level at 54 years young is a testament to our sport!
