  1. Wait until your favourite candy is oout of stock and see how you feel!
  2. I saw off the Offender and then tried unsuccessfully to cheer up my devastated friend, meantime dealing with the lump in my own throat. (insert big sigh here)
  3. If there is ever a bloke chook there you could call him Cluckleberry Finn!
  4. also ..where are the life lines that go around the boat? they still to be fitted? yes indeed.

    There's a glimmer of hope for you yet Jordan - but wait, you're joining the Army right? Oh well, enjoy it while it lasts Yes TW looked good yesterday and certainly marched away from the fleet after a bloody good start.
  7. Helped run a bbq brekkie for 40 odd club members on Sunday. Had to get up at the crack of 7 to do that! Good team work from around 6 other peeps as well. Big thanks to them.
  8. dunno really. I can't do calculations so I place my trust in those who can, but if I was in a boat that was going arse up I don't know if I could do the calculations in my head fast enough to stop it going right over
  9. And lets face it, why would you bother for cat 4 or 5? Yeah plug the numbers in for cat 3 and you're away. got me one of those for the Ant. I declared all my downwind sails and they hammered me. Didn't care as I never intended to race under ORC Club, but it's good to know that with ALL my downwind sails declared I might need to be faster than Rambler to win on corrected!
  10. Grab the mast head, pull it down, then let go. Never seen sails on when it's being done.
  11. Well in a marine related thing, I have spent the entire afternoon & evening updating the WBC website. It is now sporting the upcoming season NoR's and upcoming social events yada yada yada.
  12. Ha Ha yes Wheels freebies about - what size incontinence pants would you like?
  13. Yesterday I mowed the lawns, repaired the broken stays on the hot water cylinder overflow - using an old 3 mm traveller rope (that's why you never throw out old ropes) and put some more patches on the roof and painted over them. Then I cleaned the wheels on the car. Oh yes, I repaired Pedro's gennaker too - most important job of all. Today I scrubbed the waterline of the Ant, and cleaned underneath the boat with my home made clean under the boat thingo and then I scrubbed off all the pollen that lands on the decks and cockpit at this time of year. I've just finished helping my other hal

    Neil built Focal Point and then also modified it with a beautifully built stern extension. He doesn't own it now but it's been a Weiti boat for many years.

I hear one of the boats, or at least the foredeck crew, had a bit of a shocker.... and it wasn't one with a name starting with a W That's because I told you I had a shocker you sh#t stirring b#st#rd I CONFESS!!! IT WAS MY FAULT THE GENNAKER WENT UP UPSIDE DOWN!!! There - you happy now? By the way I had a stellar day yesterday! On the other hand not to get off topic Timberwolf looked to be having a great day!

    The Wolf looks very nice Tim. Scything through the water. Looked very smooth on Saturday.

    So if we see you zooming around with TW up a foot or so off the water, we'll know they are high lift foils!?!
  19. I second Wheels's comment. I have had one of those in my boat for a few years now and it is excellent. And waaay cheaper to buy and waaay cheaper to buy the replacement filters.

    So... You will have 2 new amas, a new mast and presumably new sails, and you might have to build a new centre hull - but it will still be the same ol' Timberwolf
