Excellent work. Nice to see Playing Possum is still as quick as ever with her special paint job!!

Special? She is very special to us! Ever learning with her. Although we hope to get her to somewhere warm to get the deck tidied up. She even has a custom made carbon boom and tiller extension as Andy is a dab hand with Carbon!

Do you know Possum then?

Yes, I have known her for a number of years and aquired the carbon mast for her previous owner (Ian Sutton). The paint job was done by Andy Jones quite a few years ago and he had it done in a Porsche colour which was a bit unusual back then. I think it was done by Paint craft.

She is a very nice boat, properly deck stepped and had one of my old Speed mains on her, which was a good sail but I guess a little tired now. Was a good choice of boat for you and I am glad she is getting some use. Unfortunatley Ian was not getting to use her as much as he would like.

fyi; Andy Kerr and Gareth Hall posted seven firsts and one second in the conventional icicle series (8 results from 16 races)! considering this is his 'new' ship, it says a lot about the driver and crew.
