I love being on LSL, it gives me more time to get creative with my posts. This time I've included, dialogue.
Hello all,
I competed as crew in the Victorian TY titles at Safety Beach on the weekend and while there caught up with Ross, the owner of Wagtail.
I was standing on the dock at Martha's Cove minding my own business and saw this boat go by. I took a double take and yelled out, "Hey, I've got one of those." It was the first time I had seen another Investigator in the flesh.
"What number?" was the reply.
"127," I shout back.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Doctor Peter"
"I'll be back, I want to talk to you."
We did talk too.
Ross, is a boat builder, races a lot and is an enthusiastic exponent of Investigators. He has done some work on that boat and I hope he will answer this post and talk about some of it. It was a very tough weekend but these are some of the things I remember:
1. Sink and cooker on the starboard side quarter berth,
2. Fabulous canvas work for the pop top and over the boom shading,
3. A very flash dagger style rudder (new),
4. An interesting running rigging set up including spinnaker, and
5. A hull modification that just makes a lot of sense to me.
So, Ross are you out there? Please tell us about Wagtail.
Hope to hear from Ross of Wagtail
