    Definitely! Been known to partake in the sport myself! There is a time for everything.

    Yip, 49er. Would just love to sail that machine. Done the building, done the pitch-polling, done the wave riding and still I would go back to the mono-hull. Dabbies in the Durban Bay were a sight to behold. Don't see them too much these days. Nothing capsized easier than a Contender, nothing. It had the same handicap as a Fireball but only had a main. I used to sail in a wetsuit mid Summer. Thing used to plane to windward and then I used to fall off.

    Nah.....sailed a Finn and found it a barge. Same as the 505 and FD. When I was little I sailed Fireball and Contender. The Laser beat me hands down, especially at sea! Would love to just go on one of those olympic class hydrofoil mono hulls for sheer excitement and adrenaline.
  4. Good you are ok. Where are the Savage pictures or it did not happen. "Most photographed team in the world" Strobe light for me, in fact, any light is better than no light.

    Prefered the Dart over the 16. These dinghies have just become unbelievably expensive. So much so that I have had to resort to buying and sailing a RCLaser. Not cheap either.

    Thanks for sharing. Lovely footage. Wish I could still do it.
  9. Hope you tossed the finger of God back?
  10. "Like a Boss!
  11. Any other Hubbers doing this? I am pretty sick at the moment but I am still going to get better and will be doing this.
  12. Ahhh, now I understand. Had to look that up too.
  13. Clever!
  14. Someone must keep the Reebok yacht going even if this is just a small step......pun intended!
  15. I spent 10 years working on the farm to the right of the pic. Memories.... Nice, thanks Dale.
  16. Agree with this 100% At sea, for visibility the safe colours are red/orange. I know we do not ride at sea but the colours are more striking, easier to pick out for search and rescue. Moving legs with vibrant coloured reflective socks is better than bright coloured socks
  17. ????
  18. Unless you have partaken in too many penalties for racing and going too fast. (Strafdop karma.)
  19. And did the Volvo start yesterday?
  20. She was in Durban. Checked her out and she has a flipping sea plane on deck! Biggest Genoa ever sewn. Biggest problem with the building was finding sheets (had to be manufactured) to handle this load.
  21. http://onedealaday.co.za/?_ke=amFnZ2Vkc3RvbmVzQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3 Solar charger. Very good piece of kit at a very cheap price. I have used one for years.
  22. 500 entries!! Guess provision has been made for the envisaged bottlenecks at the beer tent then? Looking forward to this.
  23. Nice saddle!
  24. Lekker area and spent five weeks working there when I was younger and fitter. I envy you Duane.
  25. I have been using the Holdfast and Thule hanging tow bar racks and the Holdfast seemed better than the Thule. And then came the Saris. By far the best rack I have ever used and it is now my go to rack no matter what the terrain. Best rack I have used. (2years now)
