knobblyoldjimbo Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Or maybe he wouldn't want the risk of a real thrashing like he got last year eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 OK, you got my attention. I will be there, trap and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korwich Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 You wont need the trap Mick it will only be blowing to 10-15 knots. Or have I heard that somewhere else before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 For once you are right, almost. 2k-8knots. every time i have raced there at this regatta it is a drifter and on the way home she blows her tits off. The big boats get the shits because they get beat on scratch by a Maricat, the finish boat says you can't be finished yet and tells you to go and do the rest of the race. The same thing is going to happen this time only lite weather expert jimbo is going to be up there with me. Cat rigged it is for me. I need to give jimbo a lesson on lite weather Maricat sailing.

korwich Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 You go mick, you give ole Jimbo a good lesson, a damn good lesson boy. Only this time make sure you know which side of the mark is the finish line Mick. Loser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobblyoldjimbo Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 It was nearly a disaster, Friday I came back to the station and of course the Maverick had been stolen. Most of my sailing stuff inside (silly me). Darcy is fixing me up for a new set of stays and one of my daughters had given me a BCF voucher so I have a new pfd, now all I have to do is get a passout from the wife, who I'd promised to spend Easter painting the house! As to wind, remember about three years ago, first time I'd turned up, there'd been a BIG southerly and wet in the week previous, of course I couldn't tack then (still can't when its windy) and the reach was like a roller coaster with the big swell from the southerly. I think Phil you said you thought you saw something dark and hairy in the water! Mick generously gave me his winning voucher and I'm still using those lucky wet suit booties!

knobblyoldjimbo Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I got a reply to my web query. "Yes, we sure are, James - look forward to seeing you there. Competitors' meeting is at 12.30, race to start at 1.30pm. cheers Jane Klein Hon. Secretary, SPASC" You coming Rodney, that'll be sandwich for lunch then !!

korwich Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Come on Rodney, if there is more of us then we stand a better chance of flogging Mick. yeh the black hairy thing was either a dead dog or maybe someones front door welcome mat, what ever it was I was not going to capsise there.

tonyquoll Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Notice of Race for Speers Point: http://www.sailingspeerspoint.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ANZAC-NOR-2011.pdf Seems to say just one race on Monday afternoon. The NS14 State Titles are on that weekend at Teralba; just across the bay, with over 50 boats entered. Might be some traffic on the water. Too far for me, will be training some newbies in the fine art of 14' cat sailing on Wallagoot Lake instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointed Reply Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Sailing on Wallagoot, maybe with a nice light blue sail ! It will be good to see old 007 on the water again..........almost a class icon..........almost as famous as Pirate Pete's black No 1 sail from Black Pearl.

tonyquoll Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ann & Greg were very grateful, and are getting new stay wires & other mods to fit it properly. They followed my suggestion of taking it easy and reaching back and forth across the lake to start with. Next week i'm hoping to demonstrate proper use of mainsheet & traveller, maybe even some flying lessons! Meanwhile ex-girlfriend has been learning to skipper a Sabre (after a few months as crew with me on an NS14). The first two weeks she came back with lumps on her head from all the accidental gybes, but did better this week and got a solid 4 hours on the water with no capsize or head injury. She reckons it's time to try the Paper Tiger! All good fun. Best of luck at Speers Point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korwich Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Looking forward to seeing you again Malcolm. "The Old Malcolm Falcon" every maricat on the water is a bonus. You may be opening a can of worms asking Mick for advise on sailing technique though unless you are prepared to have a thick skin, but hey he will be too busy giving Jimbo a light weather sailing lesson. See you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm 2115 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 That is why i also said if appropiate only so that i do not get led a stray with mumble jumble or open a can of worms so to speak . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hey Phil, you are full of it and I'm not talking good advice. May be you should take a tip or two. Don't you remember last week. I beat you by 1/2 a leg and I was cat rigged. I guess I just got lucky again hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
