If you truly did that TP1? You are a braver man than I Gunga din. If I favour that sort of pain then I am inclined to do it internally with a well chewed Hot Chilli passed along the Digestive tract. That is painful enough for me.

Heaps of fun though i'n't it.
If he's up to it I will meet him at Gillies next summer battling it out with Land Yachts and Mast Lances..
Shoot ! Can you picture 2 Lunatics in LY's Charging each other across a Gypsum Pan using Masts to impale the other. Shiite! This could be the making of another "Great Australian Epic", with a Quixotic Twist.

I thought that Stan Sharp and John Knobbs had already tried that many many years ago (land sailors from about 20 years ago R.I.P.)

Gizmo,
Don't point that Q at me.. I haven't been around that long. Carbon Fiber Masts probably weren't though.

TP1,
That is an absolute Mongrel thing to try to get me to do.. Alls you want to see is My Eyes Bulge and my Eardrums Blowout!! My Masts have some sort of Baffles in them.. I'd get some sort of Blow Back to splash my sinuses on the floor.. That is a fowl thing to wish on me.[}:)]

Go on, Giggle Laughing Boy.. If my wife keeps dragging me out on her 5 and 6k jaunts I will be to slim to sail The Razor. Low Carbs, Low GI, Lean Beef,Red and White Wines, Sea Food stc. I shouldn't complain too much though as she is keeping my Blood Sugars down and me off of Insulin. If you keep it up TP1 I will Shame you on this venue.[}:)][}:)]

Probably a good Idea.. Scratching ain't the problem but crushing is through sitting on 'em.

Ok! So at last a decent breeze today fairly constant around 25 to 30kmph.
I managed a bit of footage-----if I can repair a couple of corruptions, however the Razor performed well under the Skinny Sail, though interestingly under strong gusts the yacht wanted too skid sideways. Generally, it behaved well but could have used more space to get under way properly. The sail, it seems to me, comes higher up on the wind than the first (Medium) one and holds longer----------If that is possible. This statement is born out on some video strips I shot. I will just have to get over to Strahan and Ocean Beach for some real trials but I am pleased.

lathes are for wimps.

real blokes do thier regrooving on the move- sheetrope in one hand, saw blade in t'other........

or you could wander down to your local truck tyre depot with a sixpack and rent thier tyre regrooving gun. practice on a dead tyre first.

Clamp a big electric drill in a vice, remove the bearings from the wheel and, using a largish bolt through the axle hole(securely tightened of course)in the chuck(also securely tightened) you now have a method of spinning your wheel[}:)]
