Australian Nats 2015: Preparations & Practice Race

Pity on the scheduled days matching the Moth Worlds with Ashby & Nathan missing the A Nats. But with Brewin, Collet, Brayshaw and many other top talented Aussie A-Class sailors we will surely see some good racing. Report sent below by Tracey Johnstone.

A-Cat One-Off Custom Build: Q&A with John Lindhal & Larry Woods

In 2012 I published in csn an article on the LR4 one-off by the Lindhals. Currently I'm looking to build a one-off myself, and contacted John Lindhal to know more about his building process. He included a good friend in the loop also using the same one-off frame bed system, Larry Woods. Together they are building state of the Art one-off A-Cats.
