Joe, Jay, Carla, Libby and I all arrived Sydney airport within 30 minutes of one another which is impressive when we took 3 different routes to get here. After checking in to our main house (very nice by the way) we headed down the hill to CYCA to check out the new Lindy. Brad and Tori and team had the boat in great shape and she looks ready to go.
Note the carbon fibre liferaft case painted white for sun exposure!
Down below is slick, all carbon, ultra lite and organized. The spare stowage for extra personal gear is arranged around the dagger board trunk and suggests a spare pair of undies might fit and that is about it.
Jay doesn’t fair so well either as he is tucked away under the cockpit sole… but at least he is aft. The two burner stove bottles suggest hot food might still be possible if the seas cooperate.
Plan is for mast head investigations tomorrow then sorting other issues. Hopefully get sailing in a few days. More tomorrow, cheers, Sean
Two carbon fibre coolers that weigh nothing yet held an odd thing to find on Lindy, some cold VBA beer!
