always wondered how a tophat would take to the ground.. nice touch showing your ball there in case someone tried to sail on through you! i'm interested to know how far over the gun'l the water came (or if) before she started to float again? next time perhaps take a brush and a can of antifoul??

hi Chris thanks for your post the water comes onto the deck on a tophat before she comes up.
a tophat does it easy i have anti fouled a couple like that

Well all I can say is that this boat is not a Top Hat!

But I must say there is not much room in the Great Sandy Strait to do much tacking!

G'day Bill,

Well I have run aground a few times but never as convincingly as this. The Northerner looks good though even when she is in this somewhat, less than dignified position. Anyway great to see you still pushing the boundaries.

Cheers,

whats your point Phil the site is for past, present, and any body bloody interested in Top Hats

You might laugh, but that's the Bears legs.
I've run aground 33 times in Port Hacking and 3 times in our little adventure up north. You're not trying if you don't hit the planet some times.
Port Hacking only has two types of sailors, those that have run aground and those that are going to run aground.
