bust Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 My eldest son's godmother's brother skippered an 18 footer. He was completely mad as demonstrated in Middle Ear once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 Those 18 footers were beasts to control, all that sail and only a little bit the stern in the water. I've had several close calls when trying to drag them off in an A class. vis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 David was a lunatic. He skippered the Nokia maxi in the deadly 1998 Sydney to Hobart. I remember him telling us he had no radio when they hit that storm in Bass Strait. He skippered Scallywag in the latest which will probably be his last after he lost his best mate in the Volvo Round the World on the same boat after he was washed overboard.
