Crazy prices!

Round ones. They're for the house though, not the boat. So I don't care about condition.

I'll keep an eye out for oval ones. Do they need to be opening?

Rick

Im looking for some round tuits for my boat.

[Phil Y]

Speaking of breeze this newish Yankee made a big difference in the recent event. Picture taken enroute to the race.

Did that seagull survive the collision with your main?

[skuthorp]

Plenty of both here today. Very bruuzing.

[brucemoffatt]

The falling domp seems to have abated here for now. Also the bruuze. Pity it's so cold and dark outside. I don't fancy trying to install a 6 metre length of gutter just now.

The seagull hit the main sail fast enough to flatten right out. I hope it sprung back like in the cartoons.

It's amazing some of the things you don't see when you first look at a photo.

Nah he ended up as rod kill, serves him right for eyeballing my fish n chips.

Crazy prices!

Rick

They'll still be expensive (maybe 70% - 80%) but you can do better than that for the Davey ones if they're the ones you really want, or probably a bit better still for our own local ones. However, they're by no means cheap items -- especially the opening ones.

PM me if interested further.

I was going to comment but you all beat me to it.

I'm looking forward to next year's already.
Tom the reason for the visible tags is you posted the link twice.

Ray at Chinderah Antiques may have some 11"to 12" inch opening ones ,do you wish me to inquire next time I'm down there?

Gary same here , you will just have to follow me more closely next year.

[Larks]

Actually a lot cheaper than Classic Marine .http://classicmarine.co.uk/boatstore...hStartRecord=1

Actually Classic Marine are quite a bit cheaper Peter, by my calc's anyway, those prices you are comparing are between opening and non opening ones. I think the smallest of the opening ones are about AUD120.00 cheaper to buy in the UK from Classic Marine than they are here through Classic Boat Supplies (GBP306.00 v AUD645.00).

I'd vaguely been thinking of buying them over there when (if) we head over to the UK and Ireland early next year and now that Rick has raised the subject he has me thinking of that again and what to do about it.

[Larks]

BTW Rick, check out Alibaba for round portholes that should be suitable for the house.

What's this follow?

I didn't even see it until you POINTed it out,( schnnork.)

[John B]

Looks good but is it a Yankee? Looks more like a small jib to me! I thought a Yankee had to have the clew much higher up to be a Yankee. Happy to be corrected!

Rick

Yahhh , that ain't no yankee jib, but it certainly is a very nice looking working jib/ #4.

[WX]

Oh look what I just got in the mail and I only asked for one.

[skuthorp]

Just remember Gary, one at a time…………………...

You mean I can't have a glass in each hand!?

[WX]

They are from my daughter in the US. I gave her a choice of two, I didn't expect both.

Sunday 10 July

Partly cloudy. Slight (20%) chance of a shower along the coastal fringe, near zero chance elsewhere. Light winds. Overnight temperatures falling to between 7 and 10 with daytime temperatures reaching the low 20s.

Hoping for a sail on Sunday. Kerry was going to come but she fell over last night and hurt her coccyx. It's a shame because it's pushing two years since she last came for a sail.

[WX]

Came across a Brother industrial sewing machine today for only $200. I'm selling some more stuff on Tuesday so if I top the mark and it's still there I'll buy it.

Yes please! But I won't buy them if they're too dear.

Rick

[RFNK]

I don't get it. Why is JB laughing/schnorking?

Is that Alibaba and the 40 thieves or is he still going solo?

Rick

Rick

Why not give him a call 02 6674 0099 and enquire without mentioning me. If its within your ballpark I will see if I can better it. Ray is a fascinating guy and has enough stock to easily open a museum , much of which he rents out to our GC movie industry.

What's this follow?

Follow me and everything will be alright just wont be tucking you in at night.

You will be up against WB two second scratch finishes and one third. which would have become a first and second if handicaps had been applied. In this last race Glen Slight's TS was just too far ahead to have changed anything.

I'm going back tomorrow first thing and if the other bugger hasn't bought I am. A friend of mine wants to buy my Singer for $50 so I'm a quarter of the way there. Actually I think I will have enough to get it tomorrow.
This is the model.

Yep done my sums...it's mine!

I'm going to get in some practice on Sunday. It will be perfect, bloody light winds again!

[AussieBarney]

Thought I would drop in an say G'Day.

[skuthorp]

G'day Barney, we were up your way a couple of weeks ago and will be again in spring. Wanna have a beer or two then?

[auscruisertom]

Rick

Interesting point. I perceive a Yankee to be high cut sail set on the forestay , in comparison to my staysail which looks more like a low cut 130 genoa.

Once WB reverts back to her original Gaff Rig and looses 3 foot of the mast it will look better.

[WX]

G'day Barney, how's life treating you?

I'm also going to take one of the rescue boats back up to the bottom end of Stotts and work out just where the deep water is.
