Backdraft on Ebay

[Pennpromo]

Seen this Backdraft on Ebay, make a nice boat for someone, its a real shame that no one is racing 1.3L Offshore as it was a really good class, fast and cheap. If you made a mistake usually it didn't hurt too much !

An Allhallows regular if I'm not mistaken, it was out this year at the 'Shake-down' race back in April.

Ere

ya go

 

[Jon Fuller]

Matt should buy this!

bit of basic, mebbe kick start the class back into life, in addition to a 'sensible' boat for eerr in doors!

 

[Matt]

That'd be a good race wouldn't it. Me vs Me.
It'd be a shame for the race boat to be slower than the pleasure boat!!

1.3 was VERY competitive! And 55-60 in an ultra light 1.3 boat feels a little different to the same speed in a two ton cruiser.

Someones gotta start the ball rolling!......if i were 10 years younger, i'd challenge your sorry arse.

You could probably get a couple of people interested in 1.3 from the forum if you really tried.

Of course, if you don't think you have the ability, commitment or bottle........

 

[Matt]

Wanker!

(Completely agree with the approach though)

Of course, if you don't think you have the ability, commitment or bottle........

 

[Jon Fuller]

Wanker!

Charming!....so do you? (have the required qualities)

 

[Matt]

I can't believe you need to ask.

 

[Jon Fuller]

I can't believe you need to ask.

you're right! ...so back to the Formula then

The 1.0 K1000s do 45 that's with a 60 on. like to know what the re-started C & B class OCR are upto now........

Matt......go on, go on, gwan! go on, go on, gwan! go on, go on, gwan!

DO IT!

have i made my feelings clear?

get slug as your Navi, god as your co-pilot (but theres only 2 seats).... job done!

 

[Matt]

I need to finish the formula before buying anything else.
Once the formula is running - maybe.

 

[Jon Fuller]

you spoken to TD yet?

 

[Matt]

Yep.

 

[Jon Fuller]

back on 1.3, Scott Hodges apparently still has his 1.3 B23 in his garden, I bet he'd come out if things got talked about, and how about a veterans class for John Moore, and mebbe even John Hedges.

 

[Jon Fuller]

Yep.

and?

 

[Matt]

All sorted - nudge nudge wink wink.

 

[Jon Fuller]

cool, he doesn't lend that outfit to just 'anyone' you know! is he gonna give you all the attachments and the kilo of KY with it as well?
