Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
Rick, what did the steel and hardware for Pipsqueak's cradle cost all up? I have seen some of the specs, as you mentioned on Pipsqueak's thread. Do you think it's over-engineered, could be a bit heavier, or about right?
I am seriously considering bringing Vamp home for a spell in the driveway. The work would get done at double the speed and a quarter of the frustration, I reckon.
You will not regret bringing the boat home. You'll do a better job, a much more enjoyable job, it'll take longer because you'll do more and be fussier - because you can, and you'll achieve a great boat. I respect the `get it done and go sailing' philosophy but, if you're like me, you'll be thinking about all that needs to be done to it every time you go sailing, and be wishing you could just get into it and get it done.

Hmm, not over-engineered.

Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
My idea of hell and frustration is working on a boat 25 km away in a boatyard away from my workshop facilities !
A great idea Matt !'' You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know. ''

I don't know a Ken and the only contact I ever had with the Bendigo Yacht Club was in regard to class records for my Australian Sailfish.Comment

Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
My 49th year skiing and the season has been good in todays terms. These temperatures with reasonable moisture should have given the resorts 12ft of snow, but the best was about 2 meters as far as I can tell. But being so cold what was there was good.Comment
