G'day Twodogs,
No issue at all mate, I enjoy your posts.
Dralyagmas, here is a couple of pics to give you an idea mate.

This is the fuel tank area that Cisco was referring too.

Interior looks a lot like a Bene First 40. Nice and comfortable. However as a race boat probably rates like crap (happy to be corrected) but would be a lovely fast coastal cruising boat. Very nice

You're right, IRC punishes this style of boat, rating would equate to north of 1.1. The design philosophy is simple, to make a fast, short handed capable passage maker that is comfortable. It's as simple as that.
Lucky I don't race for tin cups, I race because I enjoy playing with other boats and improving my skills.

If you get line honours but come last on handicap, who gives a damn. You still won the race.

I'm just waiting for the "cruising" fit out version of this! Perfect for a couple in a hurry! I can just picture myself and my wife up on the bow with the soft gentle spray whispering over us. Just like that scene from Titanic!

That would be awesome fun, for about half an hour.
Then I'd need my nanny nap.

Obviously you have become quite obsessed, not sure if this vessel sited in the Bundaberg distillery reach is really a Pogo 30 though!! The rig looks completely wrong.






Sneaky bustard!!


I just called you a sneaky one these. Are you not insulted yet??

Hey it's not me who should be insulted I'm more concerned about that poor little Lotus sitting there wondering why she has gone from the light of your life to playing second fiddle to a Pogo (a toy for jumping about on, consisting of a long, spring-loaded pole with a handle at the top and rests for a person's feet near the bottom).Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!!

Bustards are one of my favourite birds, I saw a lot of them when I was living up in the East Kimberley and every autumn a couple turn up at my place for a month or so.

Don't worry. My poor little Lotus has not been scorned. I am just thinking of ways to make her more Pogo like. I have been stripping out the crap lining it had and now I am eyeing off the furniture.

Easy done cisco just get a bucket load of blackboard paint and redo the interior and mast as a full carbon build.
