and

Anyways, got him to come down a tune up the rig on the Farr 30 I’m doing winter series on.
Dead set legend; I learnt more off Phillippe in 2 hours of dicking around rig tuning than I have in two years of sailing with 2 ex-Whitbread guys.  Ability [...]

Mmmkay, kick this thing off.  Dunno what I’m going to use it for but we’ll see, probably just a collection of cool sailing stuff I find laying about the web.  Plus any pics and vid I take.
I race on Inglis 57, Farr92s, Farr30 depending on the day of week, etc.
I’m in love with Mini’s; for [...]
