Very cool Aus005, congratulations!
Now the challenge is to see if the trailer loads goes to the tip, or whether it all ends up at your place

Congratulations!!

I wish I didn't live so far from you - I'm sure I could lighten each trailer load for you. There's always that "something that will come in handy" ...................................one day!!

Good one Aus005, looks great and a nice comfortable ride, congrats! Is that POW bay, looks like Andrew's green cat in the background? Look forward to hearing how she goes for you.

That is pretty cool Aus, congrats.

I picture it sounding nice as well.

I hope the weather gods smile on you when you go for the first spin.

Think twice - you are the captain - before you chuck anything away! You might regret it later!

Nice boat, fair winds!

Marion du Fresne in Hobart on one of the East coast trips
One day I will write a book called "How to train your Motorsailer"
So Aus 005, if you have not owned this type of boat before give me a yell.
You have a boat with little form stability but a very low centre of gravity and AVS.
You also sit very high in the boat compared to a yacht cockpit.
So that bring sit own challenges.
Cheers
