Sweet. Let me know if you need an extra body for ballast.
Off to bed now, gota be awake at 4am :ohmy:
I have spent literally 1000’s of hours at sea and until recently had never set foot on a sail boat.Whilst in Cairns,I spent the day on this boat. I dont think it is quite as big as the Necker Belle but it was a fairly big sail boat none the less.
As you would know Mick the multihull is a very stable boat.
That one looks like a nice bit of kit too.
Mono hull (or tippys as some call them) are fun too but not as good for entertaining the VIP’s.
It is great fun doing social racing but one needs to sail ‘defensively’ because all the wannabee’s do it too and some forget their manners, others have no idea about the rules and some have no regard for manners or rules (a bit like this place).
Thats why it is fun watching the ‘big boys’ bashing into each other while you sail past for a win
In 2005 my brother and I delivered a brand new $US1.8M 50′ Hatteras Sports Fisher from the factory in North Carolina all the way down the US east cost to the Miami boat show,that was the boat trip of a life time. :woohoo: It had 2 1000hp CAT’s running her and she was using 200liters of diesel an hour. We had the hammer down and it cruised comfortably at 32knots.
