August and september are the best month for the club.
It’s the dry season in Indonesia and also the dry season for furniture business .
Members have ample time for sailing.
Our overseas guest from Zaragossa, Spain mr, Alex and his charming wife Manuela ,steered the rescue boat to make pictures:
|
Egbert came out with his 40 knots speed machine, the Hydrosail and the speedboat was not fast enough to make pictures |
|
But I was lucky enough to find an archieved picture…. |
Koos and Joost sailed four races
Alex joined Egbert in his speedmachine but only to find out that the conventional cats had a lower top speed but much higher cruising speed.
In a freshening breeze sailing became spectacular.
As we -most of the time- sail single handed, we’re not used to dead weight on board. Nonetheless the Dart 18 with the new enlarged sailarea and genaker went like shit of the shovel.
The Dart was totally reconditioned last week, new chainplates, sheets and a brilliant spray job (in the furniture sprayboot from Egbert) As the boat was dried out entirely the owner believes she is lighter and therefore faster.
First race neck to neck from Teluk Awur clubhouse to Egbert massage parlor at Semat.
Boats finished in 30 seconds after a course of six miles.
Second race over 12 miles showed some shocking results.
