Guest Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Wow there must be a breeding programme on at Bucks. Sweeny Todd, 888/Dangerzone, Flash Gordon all come in the past year or two. Also Nijinsky just turned up before Xmas and now I heard Blondie has arrived. Add to the longer term boats and it's a good fleet there now. We were looking for a cruiser-racer boat a bit bigger but it's tempting to get into that lot! Not as many as WH but good to have another fleet building in the region....anyone else keen?

Guest Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 And what's more there is another one in the big shed currently getting a make-up job which I think is going to stay local. Unless that's one you've listed, they all look the same to me Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 323 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Is that because all the ste........ oops bows look the same. Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 KM, don't you hate it the way those Young boats all look the same when looking at their sterns? Was going to pass comment on it myself at some stage RaceTech, not sure if they're based there or just visiting, but also in the last couple of years, you can add to your list Inner Circle, Instigator, Men at Work? and Satelite, that on top of the seven odd that were already there. Afraid all the Ross boat breeding is happening in Nelson KM. Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Is that because all the ste........ oops bows look the same. Are you lads accustomed to a bit more...er...variety in your one-design classes? Link to post Share on other sites

Bullrush 0 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Theres also Heaven 'n' Hell, Young Again and Young Jim. I thought I had seen Sister Moonshine in the marina too, but could be wrong... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nautique (probably spelt wrong) and Ken's Bandicoot, I think it is. Why the hell do I know this, I'm starting to scare myself Link to post Share on other sites

rigger 47 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nautique (probably spelt wrong) and Ken's Bandicoot, I think it is. Why the hell do I know this, I'm starting to scare myself You gotta know the competition / enemy Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Competition, I don't do enemies, life's too short for that. And I totally agree with you. Knowing thy opposing skipper/s is a handy tool. I'm just concerned I know so many 88's down that way when I don't really know 'down that way' that well at all Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Looks like they're even scoring an 88 division now on the Wednesday nights, a clear sign they're taking over the world. Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 More than 150 boats built, an active class association and a pretty rigorous set of class rules - go the mighty Y88 fleet. Link to post Share on other sites
