Black Panther 821 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Thanks for that. Looks like we have a couple of guests, never been on a boat before but both professional musicians so I'm trying to find stuff that will be of interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 110 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 There are likely to be a few professional musicians on other boats too, we enjoyed their music wafting over the water last year and at tall ships this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not all of us are rich enough to afford extravagant luxuries like a keel Gee KM, we know its taking a while to finish off the reptile, but surely you'd want to put the keel on it before trying to race it again? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 954 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 SR's been finished and fully operational for going on 2 years now. I do still need to finish the boom. I was talking about all the classics that are centreboards, some of which are rather large boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 110 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yes big heavy slow 22' boats why those chaps with the interesting hair dos cant see the benefit of the lovely piedies I will never understand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 954 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Last 22' head to head they crossed the line L, PP, L, PP, L, PP. Twas fun and we need to do it again as I was telling an ex L and newish PP owner only last evening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 954 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Back up the dingy, I had someone this arvo have a wee giggle and stab at this part of your comment, one I missed while having a wee moment over your stab at my 108 yo old baby....

Mateee..... you sure like living life out that edge don't ya Booked in for March 22, Papaora Field Days sheep sharing competition. I've entered as a sheep being to tight to pay for a hair dresser ....... but I have reserved the right to withdraw if any sharers from Taranaki turn up, they view sheep the same as the rest of us view our WAGS and no way I'm losing my virginity to some horny character in Red Bands from New Plymouth FYI - I got given a pair of Red Band sox, awesome and highly recommended not only in red bands, they have also proven magnificent under my MX boots.

If you do it again, I can think of another 22 class that could muster up a fleet. From memory, not a million miles away performance wise either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 954 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yeap it is a real thing :) We'll keep your 22's in mind for next time, it is a big pile of fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 821 Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Bumpy wet trip to Mahurangi this morning. Next dumb question: how old qualifies as a classic yacht? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 68 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I guess you are asking on behalf of another vessel as ply boats will never be allowed! However modern classics are 1949-1970, built in wood using traditional methods. e.g. Stewarts, Townsons, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 110 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Ahem ply is in as are glass H's , when did John design her ? As I recall the Doc was building her for a few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 110 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The big issue for KM is whether he has enough lubricant on board to oil mullet boat muscles that have not been used for 25 years -his ring in crew for the Saturday race, professionals ex Lipton winners ...Year 100 has brought them all back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
