The argo is the ex graham hastings ocr boat which has been
rebuilt and we are enjoying our first season in ocr
(bit scary but we are getting better) any way here are
a couple more pics (say hi to the old man for me)

just think of the years of practice to hone your skills
(has the old man still got his 19) if so tell him to get
out and help in the fight against the phantom
owners club

he's still got it he will all most certanly be out next year for a play!!

how did you get on at plymouth?

not good,bow tank pipe came off and my knee knocked the lever
and we started to fill with water( thought we were sinking)see
pic. next race we raised the engine to high and lost water presure
so we had to pull out but we learn something every time we go out so its not a wasted weekend in fact its the best fun i have ever had and the sensation of speed is far greater than any other racing i have done
glad to here the old man might come

does the bow tank work on your boat?

someone at some stage had put a bow tank on my 16 but i was told from kirky that it just pulled it down into the waves!

at the moment i dont use it and i dont think graham ever used
it either the boat handling is fine in the rough is just a
case of getting confidence to keep your foot down
