Well next time we meet, Teal should be a different performer.
New rudder blade - antique style, compared with old one, and new sail.
The free sewing machine isn't fixable so I'll probably just stick
the sail down with duct tape, same as the last 3 or 4.

Academically, yes.
Functionally.... having **delighted** at the handling of
Nutshell & Tender Behind, the little blade is OFF !! I'm sure I'll find another
use for it one day. And anyway, the fig.8 loops for the up & down-hauls
are a cast-iron bitch to tie & untie. Unscrewed the fittings from the old boom & attached to the new. Old boom/s look like they might be effective
spinnaker poles.
But possibly not on Teal....
Rigged the sail yesterday, & promptly had to pull it down & tape over a
bunch of manufacturing defects - a line of cuts from top to bottom. So
no pics. Heaps of power even sheltered amongst the trees in the back yard.
I'm already a little wary of it. Teal will require much baling when / if I
eventually dunk her. Tested the reefing as well. A spinnaker might be a bit
..... ambitious for a large slow person in a small unstable boat.

A big chance would be when Mike is ready to launch his PDRacer. Though if that is too far away we should consider meeting up before then.

Anyone interested in a gathering the next couple of weekends ?
SWMBO is filling my calendar fast, but Sat 22/11 & Sun 30/11 are still vacant.
Have also, courtesy of the local pot growing society, acquired some 20L
drums which formerly contained hydroponics fertiliser. Bright white so should
be effective marks for MIK to thrash us around. Probably ought to stick a
flag on them so they look less like floating rubbish.
Any takers ?

Sail 22nd or 30th Nov
Hi AJ,
I will be up for either day. Any preferences for the venue. Mik and I sailed on the Patawalona and it works well for the small boats.

Sat 22th Nov shaping up as my preferred date - have been made an appealing offer for Sun 30th.
The Pat & Westlakes are preferred given our small boats.
The Pat may be a bit polluted if the rain clouds threateneing at this moment
actually eventuate. http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/
Tried out Murray Bridge the other month with a kayak. Excellent water, but might be a bit busy of a weekend with water-skiers. Except for behind Long
Island where motor boats are banned.
cheers
