Let's post photos that remind us of good times. These are a few from my 2019 cruise, Anchored at Lifou Is, New Caledonia ![]()  the best bakery in the Sth Pacific - Lifou  departing Lifou for Grande Terre, the cats prepared for the forecast 25-30kts  Hey Fogg, how do I show full size images in the thread, the originals were just over 1MB ea and when I reduced them to just below only show as postage stamps - or is that just how it is? |

and one more, on passage Lifou to Grande Terre (solo), trucking along 2 reefs in the main and some rolls in the genoa  sure got a lot of practice reefing, in the islands with the SE trades blowing around 25 -30 kts |

Great idea! Hard to choose the best from so many. Probably best to start most recently with the excitement of watching Fogg arriving plus maiden voyage…   |

we all know the saying about the 2 happiest days of boat ownership. I have already had a 2nd happy day without having to make the sale, this being CZ emerging from the shed in 2015 after 9 yrs in storage..  |

I think he said it’s got a big dose of Farr in it. 46ft-ish maybe? Composite? Fast too. |

best designer in the world  , Farr 1399, actual length 14.5m as there was a bit builder's "license" used during construction. Lines plan attached, actually drawn by Roger Hill who was Farr's chief draftsman at the time. Clipper bow and hull shape very similar to Ceramco 092_1_Lines.pdf (859.4 KB) |

at Sandspit today ticking off a few more maintenance jobs, noticed Fantail - many yachties favourite Davidson design tied alongside. She looks in reasonable condition and all the gear looks original, however she could perhaps do with a bit of a spruce up    |
