any salty seadogs heard of the thompson 750 trailer sailer ????

Dachopper, South Of Perth has a few of these, (well did last season)
Raced against them in A division and sports class (when they had sports class)
Bloody things go like a rocket. Some of the crew who sail them there actually built them. Hit the SOPYC and see if you can get a handle on who owns them I do know one is an ex-commodore.
But all in all the sure are fast but handicapped out most times which is a disappointment for them. They always had fastest times but relegated back down the fleet after handicap allocation. Handicap admin wouldn’t leave the system alone, soon as they had a "good" day they suffered big time the following weeks with a horrible score.

There is now a thommo 9 in the river at the moment owned by a bird at EFYC

We have pretty good forum going at the moment through www.sailinganarchy.com/forums

Got a few local guys together.

Cheers

Wild One. Hosko sails on it

assymetric kites are fun. the trick with dropping them in is to fire the tackline first, collect the foot, and then drop the halyard. trim them in and out just keep the luff curling.in the big gusts bear away and ease the sheet a little.

just trim the new side in (just like a big jib)

What sort of thommo did your old man buy?

Assys are great to sail with. Just make sure you have enough pace up before the jybe to flick the sail around of it goes to ****

we just got a new one. 93ft along the luff. Plan to give it a run on the weekend if the wind plays fair

good stuff, where is he going to keep it?

had another ride today in the 8 or 9 kts of southerly! and was easing the sails off in the 9 - 10 kt gusts!

... Saw one of those on the net recently... looks pretty nice for a 980 trailerable. Can you ramp launch it? and whats it like getting the mast up? Has any1 seen the sports 8 from south perth sailing and know if it goes? when do the other 3 thompsons that are there usually race?
inside racing? , road warriors , keeled over?
