Hi all. Yes the 5.7 is still alive and going well (in CQ) and the big head main is excellent. Only problem I have now is that the boat goes too fast . The problems we 5.7er have to live with. Thanks also to Jim and all those who helped get AUS 118's hull back together and into the water. Cheers, Carl. IP: 58.96.32.47 |

If any of the Altona guys need a crew (cat or mono), either part time or full time, please contact me. I am based in Hoppers and will be boatless for the rest of this season and also next due to the house and marriage thing. Available to either race weekends at regattas. email me on the following for futher details. tornadoalive(at)optusnet.com.au Cheers [This message has been edited by tornado (edited 22 April 2009).] IP: 121.223.80.84 |

Hi Colin. When and where are the Taipan Nationals? I maybe able to come and if I do I will probably be crewless. Also, my wife would prefer I sell the boat now that it is practically re rigged and fitted out with new boards, mast,sails, etc. So.... I will consider selling also (but reluctantly).

hi yes i i have let a few people know about the 2 boats still in S.A the nats at this stage look like being in frankston (just south of melbourne) but I dont think its fully locked in to be there though as yet, and dont worry about a crew...I havent turned up to a regatta with a regular crew yet!! I have sailed a few times super sloop and in 5-8 knots its a blast! up wind is hard work but when you turn the corner and pop the kite its fantastic ! might tru for a cat riged with kite devision eh!

Congrats on the little one djufrt. I may get down to Altona this weekend. The next 2 weekends I am out as I am away though. If you are looking for a regular for next season or just someone on call, please contact me. Either way, I will probably see you at the club in the future. Cheers IP: 58.111.124.157 |
