Re: new member
Hi Luke and Laura. Welcome aboard! Re: the gooseneck, there is a Victorian chap who runs (for now) Keeley marine supplies who recently supplied me with a new Mast foot casting so he may well have the cast for your gooseneck or at least be able to point you in the direction of someone who has. A very...

Re: Looking to buy.
Guys,
I read somewhere on the forum that two thousand dollars was mentioned (correct me if I'm wrong) and if that's the case the bargain wouldn't be so great once shipped here!!!

Re: Rigging/hoisting a spinnaker......
Steve. Thanks for the extra info.... makes a lot of sense. When you mention it, I can now see how easy it would be to bend or snap the pole rigged as in the above image. My thoughts on the bridle and centre eye/ring arrangement was for a line that would allow blowing the guy from the cockpit in an e...

Re: Rigging/hoisting a spinnaker......
Hi Atles.
Sorry mate but I intend to learn how to use the spinnaker and it's the only one we have so I'm afraid we can't help you at this time.

Re: Rigging/hoisting a spinnaker......
Hi Steve. Thanks SO MUCH! A picture is worth a thousand words! It also helps explain a collection of lines I had no idea of what their use might be. Hopefully the weather will settle later in the week and Junee and I can further familiarise ourselves (second sail!) with Spindrift. As I said in my or...

Re: The money shot
SWEET!!!!
I'm guessing this is one of those times where, even though the image is great, it doesn't capture the true beauty of actually being there!
I hope you enjoyed your view.

Rigging/hoisting a spinnaker......
Hi Guys. Not that I'm at all ready to fly one, having sailed Spindrift only once but I have been (in the garden on trailer) setting up sails and rigging, getting things to how I believe they should be and one a very calm evening I hoisted the spinnaker head up the mast and held onto the bottom corne...

Re: Looking to buy.
Well ET3A..... He who hesitates is lost etc.... No. Really. I do hope you find another and soon! We took Spindrift out on the day of New Years eve and apart from a few "operator errors" everything went well. We sailed with just the storm jib for a bit then hoisted the main. It was good to ...

Re: Looking to buy.
Hi ET3A. I'm afraid my partner and I bought the Launnie boat! SORRY! It would be great if you could find another local 563 as it would be nice to have a sail with you either on the Derwent or in Frederick Henry/ Storm Bay sometime. Hopefully tomorrow will be our first wet day day with our "Spin...
