Right you Bug LUG! That is it! I'll be after for having you, you insulting Sod!!!
Land Yachts at 2,797.14 kilometers. Yer done Buddy.. Well and Truly Done.[}:)]

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.
Ron
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.
Ron
Nikrum, here's a chalenge for you if'n you 'ave a two piece mast.
Using the top piece, play "the Last Post" or some thing as near as phonetically possible.
Eye can
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.[}:)]
Ron
Nikrum, I thought you had maybe tried that already as i assumed that would explain the size of your girth[}:)]
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.[}:)][}:)]
Ron
Who the Hell you callin' Boy?? Son. I am probably a few years your senior anyway. Dang young Whipper Snapper!! I was probably touring Bagdad while you were snuggled down in yer Dads Bag.[}:)]
Ron
Just dont get 'em tangled in ya sheet rope coz if'n ya need to let it out real quick like then you'll be talkin in a falsetto[}:)][}:)]

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.

Boy! Didn't they larn you nothin the day you went to school or did you just get Caned?? Tasmania is a few time zones ahead of you guys in WA!! Dang seems like that would put us 100 years ahead of you--------------------------------------Knowledge wise, that is.
