Hey Richie

Same thought as me... took out the 42ft'er i have access too (the one I delivered from Sydney)

Actually got becalmed for St Helens, but had a great shy kite run back around Green and home to Manly one the wind blew into the mighty 5-10knts....

was that the dufour(twin wheels) that overtook me on the way out near the west cardinal off Green ?

No Mate.... Waqureiz 40S, (vessel Name AIRSTREAM)
Think we may have been just in front.
Had a Pink kite up headed towards St Helena and then choose to go out between St Helena and Green... lack of wind changed the route..had a deadline to be back
42ft sloop 7/8 fractional rig 2.4mtr draft (blue hull).Big single wheel.. nice to sail.
Putting some racing gear on it over the coming months
New No1 and No 3 and a new running kite and pole...
(gearing it up for (next year) the Sydney to Southport and then the Brisbane - Gladstone and Keppel races and then off too Hamo race week next year).. = .

cheers

I had a nice run at Viccy P. Went out before 4 with barely enough plus holes but it filled in nicely by about 4.30. I had a luverly (if short) sail for a change.

Dunno what you blokes are on about - had a decent sail from Manly this arvo from 3pm. Was up to 15 knots "out the back" as they say. Only had my storm sail up too (9m).

you were going out as I was coming in. I would have offered you a tow but you were in a tacking duel with a mustang cruiser !
