Lotus Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 put this one on the sailing thread, but here it is to a wider audience. father son team. kid is 26 and this is his 12th atlantic crossing. dad in his fifties has basically sailed the distance to the moon and back. they set the new record for open cat transatlantic crossing, senegal to guagaloupe. No cabin on the boat, not even a stove so they basically ate nuts and energy bars for 11 days. and averaged just under 10 knots, day and night! this was done in April https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-kk9uTFO5UAlso capsized twice, and kept going. Respect!

Wannabe Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Yoh that sounds like a project and a half. The only thing that I have seen that sounds similar was a guy who squeezed a YPVS RD500 v4 into an Aprilia RS250 chassis! When I was much younger, my old man had to sell his much beloved RD350LC due to cash issues. I've been looking around to buy him one, but damn they have become collectible. A good neat one is R80k plus now. Take a look at this!

Wannabe Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Damn... if only I knew then what we know now..... I'd have hung onto a lot more things Even a decent condition RZ50LC is in excess of 20K. (if you can find one)Bought my last one for R820.00 in 1981, which was a crap load of money for a Fifty in those days. Grebel 1

Few people know that the first open boat circumnav of the globe was done by South African Ant Stewart in a Dudley Dix designed 19' Cape Henry.
