Redback

I think you're confusing Ospreys with Wayfarers, they have to have a cocktail cabinet fitted to help counterbalance their Agas.

That's unusual for an Australian....... Overcome of the prospect of a Mk4 Osprey I expect.    .... and so he should be.  It's so exciting

Only 3 days to go until we can all drool over the new Mk 4 Osprey on the Ronstan stand at the Boat Show.  Be still my beating heart

Great result but I'm thinking: Very good helm & crew, late for the start, winning by six minutes, a new hull, a new carbon/mylor sail rig, why not a new PY ? 

When classes have a radical overhaul, surely this will effect the PY ?  Perhaps it will over the next few seasons....

Phantoms have had a similar revolution recently, their PY is adjusting slowly. Too slowly for most clubs, I believe Grafham are going to be using 1035. Hunts (my club) are looking at maybe 1020 (this will only apply to boats with the new rigging, older 'tin rigs' will still sail off the standard handicap).

I can see it will cause a lot of discussion....but then again doesn't the RYA encourage us to play with the PY system.......

Can't disagree that it had top helm and crew. Shame they never made the start for the first one. .  The question is will it still go with with a lump like me in it? (Course it will, that's what it was built for )

 Pics won't be released until today at the very earliest I would think.
 
Anyway, I'll give you an update when I can.  Hartley Laminates are the builders and it is on the Ronstan stand at the London Boat Show.  If I get around there sober on Monday I'll report back, unless someone beats me to it.
