More importantly McNaughtical, you have an S&S Tartan 37 - fantastic!

Just dye it mcnorty. Chuck a few highlights in maybe too. The length is fine.

Yes I think I will. ..I let it go a la naturale this year after my partner died. Vanity was the last thing on my mind.

Oh Jesus.....I'm sorry for your loss. Must be so terrible.I can't imagine.

Bananabender, your harness and tether are the same as the ones I inherited when I bought Morning Bird. They must have been popular at the time.

If I remember correctly they were the best quality on offer in Melbourne at the time . actually came in handy once when I fell over trying to change jibs in a messy sea .
Everytime I hear mention of or see an SS34 I have have great memories of the close racing I had with one called
Sinnerman out of Royal Vic. When I had the Bounty 35. On paper I had her measure but she always had me on a beat . I don't know why but she could point that one or two degrees higher. In one Westcoaster we were never more than 4 miles apart --till we hit storm bay and we lost our way so to speak. Great boats but I digress.

Thank you Brissy Dave. Yes...has been by far the worst year of my life.
