Saving Old Seagulls

Today is queens birthday weekend here in NZ so we get what you brits call a bank holiday . Monday off . So Adrian and I joined some of the classic boats in a run up the harbour to the riverhead pub for a burger and a pint .

Adrian is the current waikato new bermudian Champion in his beautifully built carbon hull running a stock sliver century

waving the flag

of course I try to ride the waves to keep up

I think someone photoshopped that video, there is no wake from that hull!

Can you remove the prop, fasten the motor down so it doesn't tilt, & get someone to tow you at that speed, with the same load on yours & with a spring balance in the towline, I be very interested in the reading.

we aren't clever enough to find the photo shop . so yes it is us in the picture . while this boat is the fastest ply 20 footer in the country I'm keen to explore other design ideas. This boat is offered for sale to help recover materials cost .
