The boat was a bit unloved when I bought her, although the basis of a sound boat was still there. I removed the foil headsail and reverted to hank...
. Well I certainly think it makes the boat more attractive but then I'd be biased. From a practical point of view it gives me good sized...
Sometimes true but also a little unfair. Take my case as a for instance. With no family background/interest in that area at 15 I decided I wanted...
High booster, not sure of your meaning by "bumps", do you mean the "tumblehome" in the hull (the wide ballooning profile). My boat is a 1984,...
Yeah, well done, wish her all the best. I would think that if the support boat did nothing except be there in case a rescue was needed then she...
Here is my boat. It's a Peter Cole designed "Cole 26". Around 1984. There are 3 down here in Victoria that I am aware of. I've only ever seen...
I've already been in contact with Yachting Australia, the only organization (that I know of) that handles that sort of thing. I got a quick reply,...

As we have been discussing Linux I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on UBUNTO and DEBIAN? I've been doing a bit of research and they both...
MS will never be secure. I am convinced of that now. I use a program called mailwasher to protect my mail, I run a firewall, a virus checker...
Yep, have my tame nerd working on fixing it. Not a huge issue if I've lost nothing of my data, a real pain if I have. Still, trying is the only...
Sadly after a promising start it has ended in tears.. linuxmint ran fine from the CD, appeared to install okay,, but "oh dear" seems it cannot...
Masalai. I've sent you a pm. Re: Linux mint. Mychael
