Re: Cardiff Bay Classic 2009
Thanks for putting the links up Kris. Looking forward to a day on the Thames on the 6th, then Southampton water a week later and then the wonderful Falmouth rally at the end of Sept. Can't wait.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
Re: Cardiff Bay Classic 2009
Nice videos in their entirety. I did laugh at No1 and DIXIE doing it's stunt at 1:56...two walls of water go up near vertical on either side of the bow, these blow back and wet any following boats on either side...(I did apologise profusely to Blue Mist's cousin; I promise it was intended for Alactrity only).
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...

That boat should be re-named 'Moses'

I'm jealous of the regular meets you have over there.Alacrity wrote:Thanks for putting the links up Kris. Looking forward to a day on the Thames on the 6th, then Southampton water a week later and then the wonderful Falmouth rally at the end of Sept. Can't wait.
I'm off to Waterford this evening. Full tide all through the middle of the day tomorrow and Sunday, so West Wind is getting dunked.
Plenty of family members hanging around for a spin

Ahh but you have the option of fabulous fresh water lough's should you chose, most of our boating is in that nasty salty stuff.

Re: Cardiff Bay Classic 2009
Too true - and that's what next weekend holds when I hopefully get out on Lough Ree for a few hours
Re: Cardiff Bay Classic 2009
Regular Meets? Only if you're on the South Coast and have a boat that can handle salt water, is my view!knarloid wrote: I'm jealous of the regular meets you have over there.
Roll on November - then I can get a fix every day! But not, unfortunately, in my Albatross, which won't fit in my suitcase...
Re: Cardiff Bay Classic 2009
A combination of ACF-50 for the lummies, lots of scrubbing and 45 mins on the flush muffs for the Mercs means that they don't get dipped often enough. Here's to 100s of miles of fresh water, no slipways and no pontoons!
