Still playing, only sailing news from the weekend…

Posted on Tuesday 6 June 2006

Met Phillippe Peche on the weekend.  Start thinking,

Orange II

and

Foncia

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 to explain subtle tuning adjustments in a straight forward way was just awesome; about the only bad thing I could say is he tends to over simplify.  If you want to go fast for the season and have a couple hundred to spend get him to come tool around for a day with you; worth every cent.  Have a look at the SailForce link.

Anyways that was my excitement for the weekend…

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 sale/exchange, one mother in exchange for a Mini.

Other than blah, you’ll work it out as I go along.

Stupid auto-message thing.

OK, curiosity killed the cat, information bought it back and all that.

Should really be working at the moment so I’ll come back to this later :)
