Holy cow, look at the size of some of those pieces he's holding. I'm thinking hull cleaning, antifoul stipping then Gelcoat stripping in that order if you tried to push through it for too long. The article mentions 150 square kilometers! Hope that Tassie cat turns tail quickly.

If you follow Roam on Facebook there is a great report on it!!
FB page is Sailsurfroam.

Worth following anyway, two great Tassid people living their dream with a home built cat, built on Mick's Dad's property near St. Helen's on Tassies East Coast (which I did the running rigging for and has one of our Reefit furlers :))
