Richard Pakes from Haversham is a very handy sailor, usually in a Supernova.  I think he'd be pleased to be called young.....

Maybe they need to change his picture on the website, looks quite young from where I'm ageing..

Dunno about Nick Craig but it looks like a couple of EPS's might have gift wrapped his botty..

Makes me wonder what a Beard powered EPS could have done to him..

Err, the results say EPSs 34 and 78, First Aero 23 and Zero 32.

Nick 9th, beaten by 2xPhantom (1st and 3rd on their so mean PYS, 4 in top 15), 2 300, 1 each Contender, RS600, Blaze and Laser 

Hadn't realised the second one was back that far, but in any event the first one would have been an ordinary human I'd guess, as against some flown in sky jockey in an Aero, and in light wind imagine what could have happened with somebody really good with a beard in an EPS.

Graeme the guy in the EPS was a pretty good sailor from what I saw.  I cant ever remember being beaten by and EPS on the water before.  But that's probably because I have only sailed against a handful
Well from what I've managed to google in order to rebut any further Frensham Pondsailor bollox, he appears to be a young guy from Haversham whereas the Aero guy again from my googling appears to be an Olympic Aspirant from the 470 squad.
Oh and do I need to remind you of  Broxbourne EPS encounter.. Wink

I think i still beat you Graeme?  If you remember also the boat I was sailign ahd a problem with the mast collar..... The chap in Eps  is quite a good yachter certainly better than me  here are his results in other fleets http://enter.sailracer.org/sailor_results.asp?sailor=Richard%20PAKES

What's your older Phantom PY  ?
Yes would be interesting to re-process,  fits in with our project on Age related handicaps 

Tin rigs sail off 1035 at Hunts. Thanks very much.

On that age of boat it will be one of the heavier GRP hulls as well wont it?  


Most definitely Russ. The polyester boats were up to 14kgs overweight. That makes the difference, not the tin rig.
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

He got a Masters prize at this year's Nationals, but I have no idea how old he is.

If anyone has any tuning info for a tin rig boat - Wavelength mast - it would be much appreciated.

You've got to do something about that mental attitude, nobody is better than you, if you think like that you'll be content to start in the third rank, not really push for it and generally be content and happy with yourself for ever dwelling back there, you've actually of late gone way up in my estimation I'm almost embarrassed to say and now it's time to punch through to the next level, now you have a decent boat.
 Now this EPS guy, he sails a Supernova off sail no 666 and looks decidedly strawberry blonde what can I say? He hasn't got a beard, if he grew one it would be a similar colour to your own, next time you need to focus on him, bury his ass on the line, ask him some personal hygiene question and how he copes with it, with three seconds to go, be really nice to his wife or girlfriend before the race, ask him if the wings on his EPS are holding up ok, stuff like that.. Wink LOL

Depends on the sail more than the mast nessa. I'd go fir the Simon Childs set up to start with except do not go for 300lbs of rig tension on a polyester boat, you'll rip the foredeck off.i think I used to use about 130 and even then there's a chance you could damage it if its not strong. Most of the vandercraft boats were basically development ones. The strengthening under the mast varies throughout. You should be ok on something the age of 1065.

I seem to recall is it not that much overweight but it is fragile in places (and has evidence of many repairs in 2 particular spots).
