B00B00 306 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Not sure if many of you have heard about this but my new ride launches at 11am today at Pier 21. The boat is a Jeanneau SUN FAST 3600 that I have been sponsored for a few seasons of racing and cruising. Anyone is welcome to come down and have a look. We have a facebook page if anyone wants to follow the action. https://www.facebook.com/SUNFAST3600racing Looking forward to getting into it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Farina 2 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi Josh, Nice boat. You might recall a big night on the Black Swan at Torrent bay with Cecile and Nico Andrieu. Their father is Daniel Andrieu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 306 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yup I remember that night. Pulled put all my dance moves I think but lost my coconut bikini, luckily the girls returned it when we did the dance at prize giving. Huge week of 'sailing'.... Wow had no idea those 2 were related to the designer. That's cool. In fact I think I sailed with them up in Auckland as well. Have spoken to the designer a few times now. That's good info. We had our first sail today. The boat went well. Will put some photos up tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clive 13 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 What division are you guys in on Saturday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 306 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 We are in B Division. Racing against Boats like Higher Ground, Force 11, Margaritaville and some of the bigger production boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 hmmm, I see your point Booboo, you were perhaps thinking you should really be in A, or maybe L to challenge you a little more? Well sailed, you'd have to be happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 306 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 B div is definitely right for us. To be honest I was pleasantly surprised with the performance especially upwind. I never thought we would be any where near force 11 on line so to take the line honors win for the division was fantastic on our first outing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kestrahl 6 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Good result! Could be a different story in the light stuff? I've raced against a Elan 350 (looks to be a similar concept) in SG and its no where near that fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Changed 10 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Josh only sails fast boats Kestrahl. Haven't you noticed? Or maybe all boats are fast when he's on board? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
