 Topic: Ultra 30?Posted: 15 Nov 06 at 10:29am |

looks like i need to find another couple of hulls and fix em up too! never thought it would push so many buttons! Traps are allowed under SBR but it's down to the host club to write them into the notice of race. Top cop out! I am setting it up to hike or trap. Provisional TCS 1.189 to Hike, trap rating TBC. |

Interesting! there is a boat with a worse handycap than me!-0,941. i have done round the island with trapeze,and some other local stuff and nobody seemed to complain, but dont get time to enter much else at the moment so not tested the rule, but not noticed many races welcoming trapeze boats :( if a suitable restoration project came along i could be tempted....!!! i think the mold is lying in a yard on the hamble, looks about 30 ft and a very similar shape, but i may be wrong, dont know where they were originally built?, it could be...

It is the one and only Ultra mold. Still owned by Humpreys Design and Rob is looking to offload it. RF composites built the last hull Hoya for Eddie Warden Owen down at Mercury YH. Ian Ridge built all the others. Wonder what happened to him? It would be great to get someone else on the water to tee up against. If you find a resto project, go for it. It's the fastest way to empty your piggy bank and buy the biggest grin. Oh and you will end up with more mates than a lottery winner in a lap dancing club. Eddie's boat only did one circuit and a couple of RTI's. Compared to the others it should be in nearlty mint condition. Otherwise try Pwhelli marina I belive David McLeans boat is or was last seen there and will be going for a song. |

I remember watching these when they raced on the Humber. Always hoped they would come back one day. Local radio station held a competition to win a ride on 'Black Bottle' too. If only I'd been a bit older at the time. This could be one of those myths but I seem to recall something about the race rules being changed so that the boats had to finish with the same amount of crew as they started with, to stop a scenario were the wind dropped right off and a crew member was pushed off the back (presumably picked up by following RIB) to lose some weight. Any truth in it?

There is (or was) an RYA prescription to that effect but it went back long before Ultra 30s. The Carribbean Working Boat class (might have the name wrong) does indeed traditionally jettison crew on the final downwind leg. They have the water temperature for it. I have a feeling this is now part of RRS and therefore no longer an RYA prescription.

It is the Bermuda 14's you are thinking of who are allowed to jump off the back as the wind drops. But then these are 14' long boats with 6 crew members, one of who's job is to keep bailing! Nice to sail in warm water.
