GRACELAND1216 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Here is a photo of Mick's missing sail. Mick, you should use Fastway Couriers as they have internet tracking and are resonably priced. I sent a sail to Queensland and could see exactly where it was and once delivered an electronic signature was obtained and posted on the tracker.

berny Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Sorry about your loss, real bummer, and no insurance! even worse. Nice looking sail. Makes the boat look like a real 'tool'. Is it regulation? Berny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1200LT Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thats a Bummer Mick, Mind you, we use TNT all the time, and they occasioanlly loose stuf for a week, then it miraculously turns up out of the blue. So if your sail has only been missing a few days, give them a while longer. It might still turn up. No good though if your hoping to compete in regatta on the weekend and the sail goes missing mid week. Hope they can find it for you quickly.

BarryK1200LT Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hmm, if its been missing for 2 weeks it ain't lookin good. That sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAX Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Berny, Yes the sails are regulation and are great. We have 3 mari's using these sails (none green) at Mannering Park. The design is influenced by the paper tigers but mostly we like the colours. I am also using a yellow version of the same sail now. Mick, very unfortunate loss. Hope its found soon. If you need to borrow a sail in the short term I have a spare that you are welcome to use for now and at the Nats if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks Johno, I have two on order and have been promised they will be ready for mid Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korwich Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Still no word on it yet pickle? We have had them lose 1/2 ton bundles of spring steel for us. Found it at lismore when the bundle was addressed to Kurri Kurri. Likely someone has decided it was a good seat for morning tea or it has been to hot for the knuckledragger to get off his bum, acually go out into the warehouse and look for it. When the courier company realises you are no longer dealing with them, they are pretty quick to call asking why, but when they lose something it's slowsville. Fastway used to be one of the worst in my opinion. Still are. Good luck for Port Kembla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Had a call from TNT today. Still not found and they reckon it is unlikely to be found. My insurance company said it may be covered under the boat policy. I am going to try that avenue. Still want that sail if any sites it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humungus2 Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 It looks like CGU are going to pay for the sail. A genuine claim. A fair result. Still would like to offer a reward for the safe return of the sail. TNT SUCK. As of yesterday they reckon they are still looking. If only they would look a bit harder.

Leapin Leroy Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Mick, Sorry to hear about the loss... This time of year is a horror for us too. 2 years ago (mid-December) we had 6 ton (yes 6) go missing, never to be seen again?? How in the name of all thats ridiculous, does a transport company lose 6 ton of aluminium extrusion, between a mill and our factory.... Perhaps the recent (at the time) increase in scrap prices to $1.70/kg helped a bit... ($10,200.00)... Last year and this year we are sending an absolute minimum.... As for "having a look", my missus reckons that it would be a "male" look, like where's my sox luv... "in ya' sock draw, stoopid"... Hope it turns up.

surf city Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 At least if it had have gone Fastway it would have had insurance included in the cost of the freight. By the way Fastway Couriers are back into catamaran sailing to the value of $7,000 by sponsering cat week on the Gold Coast February 2008.
