Right you Bug LUG! That is it! I'll be after for having you, you insulting Sod!!!

Land Yachts at 2,797.14 kilometers. Yer done Buddy.. Well and Truly Done.[}:)]
Ron

Heaps of fun though i'n't it.
If he's up to it I will meet him at Gillies next summer battling it out with Land Yachts and Mast Lances..
Shoot ! Can you picture 2 Lunatics in LY's Charging each other across a Gypsum Pan using Masts to impale the other. Shiite! This could be the making of another "Great Australian Epic", with a Quixotic Twist.
Ron

Gizmo,
Don't point that Q at me.. I haven't been around that long. Carbon Fiber Masts probably weren't though.
Ron

TP1,
That is an absolute Mongrel thing to try to get me to do.. Alls you want to see is My Eyes Bulge and my Eardrums Blowout!! My Masts have some sort of Baffles in them.. I'd get some sort of Blow Back to splash my sinuses on the floor.. That is a fowl thing to wish on me.[}:)]
Ron

Nikrum, I thought you had maybe tried that already as i assumed that would explain the size of your girth[}:)]

Bring it on boy[}:)]

More than a few by the age of that attempt at a joke

TP1,
Probably a good Idea.. Scratching ain't the problem but crushing is through sitting on 'em.
Ron

Sorry SN,
Not big enough Hefilumps come to mind.
Ron

Ok! So at last a decent breeze today fairly constant around 25 to 30kmph.
I managed a bit of footage-----if I can repair a couple of corruptions, however the Razor performed well under the Skinny Sail, though interestingly under strong gusts the yacht wanted too skid sideways. Generally, it behaved well but could have used more space to get under way properly. The sail, it seems to me, comes higher up on the wind than the first (Medium) one and holds longer----------If that is possible. This statement is born out on some video strips I shot. I will just have to get over to Strahan and Ocean Beach for some real trials but I am pleased.
Ron

Wadareyu?? The Organ Grinders Monkey???? Shoot! That one was a long time in the offering.

Hey Paul,
You mentioned re grooving tires, How do we go about that??
Ron

Spin the wheel, and drag the long sharp toothed item in the pis across the treaded area..... [}:)]

Nikrum said...

Ok! But I haven't got as lathe.
Ron

lathes are for wimps.

real blokes do thier regrooving on the move- sheetrope in one hand, saw blade in t'other........

or you could wander down to your local truck tyre depot with a sixpack and rent thier tyre regrooving gun. practice on a dead tyre first.

Clamp a big electric drill in a vice, remove the bearings from the wheel and, using a largish bolt through the axle hole(securely tightened of course)in the chuck(also securely tightened) you now have a method of spinning your wheel[}:)]
