Hi All,

If anyone is interested the pads are OEM brand part no,DP212.
Purchased from Burson Auto Parts cost $104.00.
I am going to take Bird Of Passage up to Lake Macquarie in about mid November
for a couple weeks,
Cheers to all.

Hi, All.
It looks like January is going to slip by before we get a chance to go down to the Prom.

Hi Glenn, No, I,m not heading over to Scotland, The Refuge Cove I,m talking about is at the bottom of Victoria at Wilson Promontory.

Hi all, Just thought I'd post the mods I did to Bird Of Passage over winter.

Then before...

Hi Brian,
Yes, I think the backstay should be allowed, another advantage is it allows the
boat to point a bit higher, by allowing the forstay to be tensioned up.
Regards Kevin.

Hi Brian,
No I don,t believe that there should be any modification to the
centreboard. ie, weighted centreboard,bulbkeel, where does it all finish.

Hi uncle trev

I intend travelling up the east coast (heading to the Whitsundays Sep/Oct) and plan to spend some time on the Myall Lakes. Could you let me know where the secure car/trailer parking is.
