75th Anniversary Sydney to Hobart Race

The old Rogue is being made ready for an assault on IRC and ORCi Div 4 in the Sydney Hobart race.
Being one of the smallest and slowest means we will be at the back end of the fleet, but that is no matter.....its the adventure and opportunity to share this experience that counts. Follow along on the Rogue Ravings Facebook page.

Some pics inside Rogue Wave.
To make room for spinnaker packing the saloon table can magically disappear!
The dining table splits in half and each side stores in a slot under each saloon seat. The table has has folding legs that store vertically against the saloon seat side. The table bolts to the cockpit sole with covers for when not in use. It can be setup as a full or half table.

Once assembled up to 7 merry crew can drink their G&Ts whilst having their roast chook dinner cooked in the rotisserie oven!

Cove Marine

I've been coming to Cove Marine at Oyster Cove since 2007 and every time the team looks after the old Rogue. So we are up again on the hard for the annual haulout. A couple of coats of Jotun Seaguardian, fresh boot topping and cut and wax the topsides.

For a yacht constructed in 1983, the old Sigma 36 still has her original gelcoat. There are plenty of 'battle scars' on the old girl: even some scars from the Tsunami that hit Indonesia and funneled down to Penang where Rouge Wave was berthed.
