Speed sailing- formula style tonight on my 8.8 Code Red/ Isonic "Dinner Plate" (133lt) with half a metre of fin.

Great fun in the gusty 3 to 10 knot winds down at melville. Did some long down winders in an attempt to crack 30 knots with this rig- wasn't to be.

Oh, if anyone was wondering, the pic is of my 65 Split Screen Kombi in her current state. More pics to come as I attempt to get her back on the road by Spring.

Jay, Money mouth OMG you do have a way to go on the Kombi. But a labour of love once finished is a wonderful thing, I sold my rebuilt 1966 Triumph Bonneville a few years ago, it was painful but I treasure the photo more than the oil leak, irregular starting, the rebuilding in my bedroom and the money I lost when I sold it. So good luck and I watch with wonderment, joy and jealousy.

PS nice speeds on the door!!

Thanks Toby, every bit of support helps- as you know.

Since I took that pic, I've lowered her by about 200mm. The lowest part of her is only 135mm from the black stuff- very cool. I have hung the doors, and rubbed back the engine compartment, cab and dash ready for it's first coat of primer. As mentioned more pics to come.

See ya late March at the next market......, maybe a beer after?

You could tempt me in a beer at that time of the morning but it’s highly unusual for me to drink that early on a non work day!
