Steve I have to agree,not a pretty site (the boat I mean) The boat show is on Saturday we are taking three Nautic12’s up North and a couple in various stages of completion. It should be a good day if we get a decent breeze.
I meant to ask you Steve do you know where I can get line drawings of Challenge12 we have been discussing detachable fins. I have gone to round groovey mast and it looks OK in 20kts and has removed the clutter on deck,stubby 2support rigging screwes and frd jack screw. The lowers keep it stiff with no bend.In a gust slight bend above the uppers allows the main to fall away a little,ideal.I’m using Bantock M fittings.

Well leadfoot thats interesting? That means the bend is reckonizable in the upper wind range, beaut, automatic!
I haven’t got a line & section drawing of Challenge 12 keel but I do have one of Australia No1 and some other photos from Challenge 12, that we could get a pretty good idea. Challenge12 was basically a A2 hull with a A1 keel, I think.
what have you done about your sail ensignatures?
Did you do anything about that inquiry from Australia?

triple y yacht crew hard at work
Yes Steve I followed that reply up and he has all the info.
Leadfoot
Leadfoot, are you going to get Seagull to put your boat details up on his web page.
Rusty did a good job on your schooling on putting pictures up. And I thought you were unteachable, (Old Sea Dog, new tricks). Wis took me through the same thing but, well, not to put too finer edge on it? (old Sea dog , no new tricks)
I personaly have nothing to do with it! You might REREAD my post!
I did reread it! Just for you and while it is from/for IHB, I still preferr the www.radiosailing.ourhobby.com/ version. Its done slightly different but it loads quicker than that version, Okay . Not ment as a critizimn, just a preference, okay?
not wanting to hijack this thread, but comparing a wmv with an html file, especially with loading time is like comparing apples and…let me see, mangos.
out of here:bag:
I’m hanging out for the boat leadfoot. I’ve mentally sailed in several reggattas
. How did I go ? need you ask? I’ve beaten Red Dog to a pulp and took the smile off dc. I haven’t even wet a boat yet.
I thought I would like a Sail motive up the top of the Mainsail in the form of Rusty’s Nautic sails with the 12 number imposed on it. That looks classy Rusty. If at anytime I happened to sail in amongst THAT class mine would be easy to find.
I see Boat Books Aust in Australia have a new DVD out about Aussie 11. I think Santa is going to bring it??
your boat will be with you next week Steve, we are taking it to the show this weekend. I am working on my mates about the sail logo I favour your idea,what about it fellas!
your wish is my command,just for you steve

Leadfoot, if this boat is so bloody good looking , why not take a photo and post it on this Forum. Get a bit of Practice?

Hey Guys Judy sent the photo of my boat and Well, what can I say but thank you. It is everything I dreamed about. Red Dog will be crushed (again) when he see this 'Drop Dead Beautiful" Nautic 12.
Lead foot , here is your chance. ‘Raise the boat’ , came those immortal words.
Just put the bloody thing up on the forum, Leadfoot.

STEVE in the mixed fleet event at the week-end
Nautic12,s held there own with 1m,s,starting 30seconds behind them we all came to the first mark to-gether.Of the bigger boats,Nautic,s finished
1,2,&3.Lots of interest in the boat.
An invitation race or event using local boats could be a starter,save on all that baggage.
that other site=new post

we Kiwis seem to have a thing about Fantasy !!!
I heard something about Nautic12’s were working on an idea for a NZ /Aust Invitational Regatta in 2006. I would certainly be interested in that and I haven’t even wetted my boat yet. You blokes didn’t sell my boat at that F/S boat show you took all those Nautic12’s too, did you, last weekend? I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
I heard somewhere that the Nautic 12’s are thinking about a NZ/ Aust Invitational regatta in 2006. I’de be interested in that and I haven’t even wetted a boat, yet.
How did the F/S Boat show go that you took all those Nautic 12’s too, including my Mitchell Blue one?
This is going to turn out a Dream Boat , make no mistake.
