Sad News

We are very sorry to hear the that Australian Moth sailor Roger Quinn has died in a tragic accident in Thailand.

Our thoughts are with Roger's famly and friend at this terrible time.

No more can really be said, dark times.

Bora Gulari wins Rolex Yachtsman of the year award

Can he stop winning? A huge congratulations to Bora, he thoroughly deserves this award and it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Currently he's a winning machine and he's all set to continue in Dubai. And what a huge accolade for the Moth Class! My, how far we've come!

Australian Nationals Day 2

There's a website but....

Anyway we think Amac won every race today and Luka and Andrew Stevenson are virtually tied for second place with Alan Goddard occasinally breaking up the top three. That's about it really... If anyone hear's anything let us and the rest of the world know.

Have boat. Will travel!

We all know that the Australian Nationals are in Perth but due to the distance many of the Australian east coast sailors have decided not to go. It is after all 2051 miles away from Sydney.
However at 5.00pm on the 2nd of January Andrew McDougall decided that actually he would go. It was a chance to support the WA boys and also to get some early 2010 races under his belt.

There then followed some frantic organising..

Book ticket Melbourne to Perth ("excess baggage" $100 AUD on Virgin)
Book Hotel
Strip boat
Paint Foils (make mental note to not hit any more reefs)
Smile sweetly at the lady at check-in

1030 am 3rd January arrive in Perth and find a taxi to get the boat in.. (below)


Hmm.. I can see Mach 2 boat bags becoming more popular after this!
