Kiwi Seagull race boats

[Charles uk]

Here are some proper Seagull race boats.

The picture with all 4 in shows the designer/builder Raoul Lealand & some of his stable of silly "X boats".

Then a picture of me running his X5 during the 2010 Waikato race before I broke down, the other picture is me after I broke down.

Here's pictures of a Kiwi long boat that has just been bought by an Australian, I don't remember seeing this hull, but the builder has put a lot of thought into this one.

Steering from the front, remote fueling & I think that transom looks adjustable in height but perhaps not whilst in motion.

Went really well in the dingy class should have won but was burgled that opportunity by the pros.

Ahoy Charles

I signed up to the seagull forum, but danged if I can figure out how to post.

Anyhow, Frantically packing for my Bermuda RISR trip. Being the only New Zealand international representative by default, I am not really taking the race too seriously. My packing focus is mostly sorting out my fishing gear ... I figure that I probably don't have a snowballs chance in winning the race, but reckon if I put enough lures in the water, I might just win the fishing competition.

I will put up a web site along the lines of Bermuda adventure (the 2011 reprise) and I expect, all going well it will be a lot like this:

PS. just a warning. I am so famous that bloody Russians are using my good name 'piratepetester' as a porn/virus site. So to find the web site, google search piratepetester [NOTE lower case]. No care and no responsibility for searches using a capital Piratepetester
