Hi
I might be looking for a new boat if the sale of my present one goes through soon. Where is Upstart based and how much will you be asking for her?
Thanks
CM

Tim, sorry to hear that Upstart has to go. Sounds like the fellowship is dissolving and I may soon be alone! We have no plans to sell.
Can I ask what new Upstart will be??

Detente, give us a break! We did make gains downwind, but the biggest
ones were made upwind.. Wind was variable with anything between 7 and 35 knots. We weren't planing all the time downhill. Gusty 35knots means boat gets flattened occasionally in the chop upwind. Be happy for us! |

But it does need a good blow and flat(ish) water to save
its time on the clunkers. |

Never enough time for sailing

Chic What went wrong not to make down hill gains in 35 knots??? This is where the boat, as all know, is where the gains are to be made. As all keep pointing out the Proj has a good ballast ratio and in the breeze up hill with a blade and five beefy ones on the rail they can go very fast indeed sea state dependant. We seem to regulary overtake a corby 25 in conditions as these. The proj does not have to be a lead mine to win! |
