While some club members are away for National regattas around the country, back at home the PCSC is looking at becoming the PC...M&M....SC -
Yes .. as cruising becomes a more attractive alternative we may have to consider ... Port Curtis ..Multihull & Monohull .... Sailing Club..... Lucky for those mono sailors , that I hear whispers of another mono hull yacht coming to help evan the teams..
Fortunately Lynne Campbell was at hand with her camera to record the launch of
Son of a Beach by Peter Leask...
As in all good boat stories, this one began at the boat ramp...
Peter remembered to supply a fine vintage champagne to send her off in style..
.. and kept pouring until the photos were done...
then it was down to the serious business of wetting the hull..
there was much wisdom and advice offerred....
.. the sails were on board ..
everyone took their positions...
.. and inch by inch the cat was lowered into the drink...
holding fast....
Danon took the weight of responsibility
while Peter fished around for something...
.. she looks a fine fast machine....
as the crew climbed aboard...
and set sail on her maiden voyage up Auckland Creek...
'cause it was blowing a gale out the front...!!
then it was back to the pontoon to try out the fridge ...
spin a few construction stories ....
.. and start learning how to sail this machine!!
