    just had a great few hours sailing the inner habour . not loads of wind but very pleasurable sharing my beat with some very old classic yachts racing- thank goodness some still appreciate beautiful things from the early years! Some of the rigging was most interesting-this photo wasn't today but im sure it was the same yachts

    Boat is now at my place.
    Apparently the sail and rig on it is off a 16' optimist that someone sailed for a season! I have no idea why someone would upsize an opti 100%
    Anyway the setup functions but is a bit of a buggers muddle, so think I will try sort out a few issues before taking it for a spin.

    El B feel like some experimental chaos in a few weekends time?
    I have figured out the problem with the current sail rig and will be fixing it this weekend, then I need some ballast and some insanity to sail it with sprit only, no boom.
    You heavy enough
    You insane enough
    You keen?

    Barefoot, El B would have several uses on that occasion. He could bring his at tweed jacket which could sub as a handy spinnaker down wind and he is wide enough to tie a rope (I know it is really a sheet on a yacht) around and use as a sea anchor if it cuts up to much.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    since starting this post I am now with my 5th sailing dinghy haha .After buying the Europe and the other thing I got a set of lasers on a trailer and then sold the first two .The lasers were great especially having two so I could sail with a friend buta flash newer boat made of plastic turned up and I wanted it so purchased it .
    Topper topaz Uno with a race sail and small head sail . I can take one other smaller person on this boat unlike the lasers which really were a one person boat
    Here are a few shots of the boat and some taking the ex wife for a spin -tried to toss her out in the harbour and took one to the chops for my efforts .

    Im still ;looking for others to sail with if your out there ????? let me know for a bit of harbour exploration

    truth was that day we were struggling with a lack of wind and an out going tide -still it was pleasant !!
    I had a phase two for years -great boat and a few still around but all around mid to late twentys so all show a bit of wear but still massively enjoyable to sail with a friend .
    Sailing for me is another form of meditation especially on a sunny Auckland day on the Auckland harbour
