This beauty passed us on the way down Morton Bay. Took a heap of photos but none came out as good as this one which is average at best. A pity as she looked fantastic. Hope this gets to the Owner.
thanks very much Derick great photo I assume you are one of the 2 trailables we overtook coming past st Helena a few weeks ago we were returning to sandgate after finishing caniper cup it was a beautiful day heard you calling out but couldn't make out what you were saying
If he is single handing, I bet he is contemplating how to get the chute off in that breeze.
sorry guys 2 handed when that photo was taken I was down below cooking sausages for lunch Fiona was steering a very pleasant sail though a bit tight further up the channel where we had pole on the forestay with wind forward of the beam but not more than 15 knots toped out at 8.5 knots were in a bit of a hurry to get back to Sandgate then drive to manly for presentation which we missed by 10 minutes

Boty,
It was great to see the Seabirds, as in plural!
There seems to be a hidden bunch of them lurking around SE Qld, they sure are a pretty boat on the water.
