going back in the water at last yipee!

Emergency Rudder fitting

Re-fit is progressing. Even though we can't do the AZAB we are continuing to bring the boat up to ISAF Cat 1. WE had an emergency rudder designed and built and it is being fitted at the minute.

AZAB Withdrawal

Unfortuately work pressures for both myself anf Lumpy mean that taking 6-8 weeks out for the AZAB isn't going to work so, unfortunately, we have withdrawn.  We are continuing to make the boat cat 1 so we can come back strong another time.  The only difference is that we will take the watermaker off as the hull had not yet been drilled.  It will live in the garage until we are ready for it.

On the plus side we will be going up to the Scottish series and hope to take part in Pylmoth week and poss little britain.

Thanks to everyone for their support.

Cheers
Dave

All Out !

Boat and Rig are now out and work is steaming away full pelt on fitting Cat 1 gear as well as watermaker, Sat mast etc. Long list of stuff to do.

AZAB Hotels

They have now removed the limit on the number of competitors for the AZAB so I booked up some hotels. Not much availability left - looks like it should be pretty popular!!

Time to mend

Rainmaker is back in her berth but now the hard work starts for the AZAB. We also pulled the top off the genoa and smashed the deck light on our last outing so need to get those sorted as well.

Silicon Cup Results

A set of results has now been published but I have no idea how these were arrived at; given the circumstances. For what it's worth we seem to have come fouth in class.
