http://www.boatpoint.com.au/boats-for-s ... x=2&eapi=2http://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sal ... k-3/147723After 8 years of very happy ownership, "Tales' is now offered for sale.
She has taken us racing, a lot of Bay cruising and even a bit of Bass Strait work over 5000 miles of really great sailing.
A lot of gear for the price and easy to handle solo.
Cheers,
Tom

Sorry to see her go, Dose this mean you are coming back to gliding or moving up to a larger boat?

Gliding was great Dave but those days are past now.
I bought an S&S 34 up in Queensland and much as I would like to be a fleet owner, really can't justify it!
Hope to see you at the next Port Phillip get together,
Tom

Funny how many of us were glider pilots in our youth, but over it now. Too many hours in airliners, and no patience to hang around all day for 20 minutes flying.

Hi Ian,
When I was a glider pilot I was totally immersed in it (as I am now in sailing) so 20 minutes would not do it for me at all.
Had my own glider and did 6 hour durations, over 10,000' gain of height and 300k flight but it is a very exclusive sport.
What I mean is that it excludes others, family etc which is where sailing excels.
Certainly solo sailing is a big part of my life but a boat is so much more versatile.
Racing a Top Hat I have found to be totally addictive and tends to make it easy to socialize (even for us introverts!)
Cruising, overnighting at anchor, tie up at a pier and get fish and chips, Top Hat get together!
If I have one message for Top Hatters it's this "Please use your boats more!"
Like gliding, the more you do it the better you get (if you want to keep learning that is) and the better you get, the more fun you get out of it.
I will get off my soap box now!
Good luck to you all,
Tom
