04.01.2022 It’s been a busy 4 months. 1- Find, purchase and deliver a cookson 50 it back to Australia and then get it ready to go to Sydney for the Hobart. Just a lazy 6380 miles. 2- Tune up boat in 13 days and get all systems operational. 3- compete in Hobart race.(aim was to get boat to the finish line)... 4- deliver the TP 52 Celestial back to Sydney from Hobart. And now it’s time to get back into a bit of boat building and international Diamond sailing. That will do it till the end of March. Oh yeah, throw in a few protests in Hong Kong as well. That was interesting !

02.01.2022 A walk down memory lane. A bit of RC IOM sailing is a perfect ISO excuse. Sailing photos are of 2 TS2 clones that we used to build in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then in design and development. Renderings are a new design to still being refined on the lap top. Stay tuned.
