It certainly was a great day at Puddleduck and nothing like the weather we had been getting for the previous several days, a magnificent spring day was turned on by the weather gods.
A good fleet of boats today, the fleet numbers seem to be growing exponentially with the closer we get to summer.
I really need to put a bit more effort into the actual racing as with the rest of the fleet improving out of site I am getting left behind.
Need to come up with a way of automating the picture taking so I can concentrate more on the sailing.
I guess being a Cold Blooded amphibian (frog) you wouldn’t notice the cold anyway whereas for us lesser mortals, our brain tells us to stay indoors on such days.
And a fine looking boat is the Duck Hunter 2 to be sure.
Expect to see great things from this once she is tuned in (even without the turbo booster fan)
Definitely got some good pics there Kermit and yes the wind wasn’t as strong as predicted but it sure did have a chill to it.
Moose’s idea with the tarp around the BBQ area worked a treat so lunch was a quite cosy affair and no doubt enjoyed by all.
About time for another update.
All the deck mounting timber has now been replaced in the hull, the centre bulkhead has been built up so that it will now support the deck and the whole interior, including new timber-work and the underside of the deck has been epoxy coated.
Next step is to refit the deck
I’ve added some more pics from todays racing here
(NOTE: this is the same link as can be found at the bottom of Col’s original post)
I have now created an album specifically for the Marine Modellers Group and their IOM sailings here.
I’ll move the other related albums there shortly
Thanks for the fine report Col, another great day of racing @ The Duck. Thanks to all who attended and joined in the frivolities.
Don’t tell the little green frog too much, you don’t want him knowing all your secrets, and yes you are safer taking everything the frog says with a grain of salt.
