All About Me

What everyone should know about me
I love sailing, and helping sailors realize their goals. My wife and I have finished our 36'catamarran which we have been building (on & off) for 12 years and launched 2008. We have posted a few videos on u-tube, see user name; alanrb1. Enjoy!

Meditation
Normally I don't promote other peoples products, but Holosync meditation has changed my life! Other methods of meditation were slow and ineffective, by comparison. Give it a go and you will see what I mean. You will enjoy life much more and get more done with ease. No more stress! Another benefit I noticed was my dysfunctional behaviors, over-eating, over-drinking, not sleeping well, have all diminished, and I've been on the program less than 2 years as I write this. But don't take my word for it though. Type Holosync into Google and have a look for yourself. You deserve to enjoy your life to the max, just like me! More time for sailing, more laughs, more bliss! Good luck

Second Sail
Sail trader since 1983 Formerly Progressive Marine Discounts Pty Ltd operating from Mascot NSW

Boat ownership history
I learned to sail in P class at age say 10, then ok dinghy. Out of the Napier Sailing Club, Hawkes bay NZ where all the racing is in the open ocean. Moved to Sydney 1975 and continued with a Tornado cat (20'), then a Seawind24' cat. I put one of the 1st kit-sets together in 6 weeks. Cost $6000 in the late 70's. I took this great little cat north to the barrier reef 3 times, got 2nd place in the ist Seawind nationals, and wrote 3 articles for Catamaran Sailor Magazine....then followed a Wharram Tangaroa cat 35', trailer tri 680, 8m racing trimaran, and now finished the 36' ply cruising cat based on another pair of Wharram Tangaroa Hulls which I bought as an unfinished project for $500 in 1998. It's like a Mobile Beach House, very comfortable, a bit slow for a cat but easily does 10 knots and have had it up to 15knots, surfing the swells. Love it!

We will be moving to Orange NSW at the end of March 2013. The store will be closed for a week or 2 around this time while I get sorted in our new abode. I will be visiting Sydney on a regular basis to deliver and pick up stock and of course to go sailing. We had a great summer holiday and sail up to Port Stephens and back during our 2 weeks off. My wife is relatively new to sailing but is really starting to love the challenge of it. I have posted another video at my u-tube channel; alanrb1. Thanks to all my customers. I hope I can continue to help you find the sails you need and save you big $$$. Happy sailing

I have just added about 45 new secondhand sails to my list. Many of these will be listed here on ebay unless sold before. I will need an email address to send the complete list to you. Unfortunately the ebay messaging service cannot deal with attached PDF files. I will also be warning of periods during which the store will be closed so that you can avoid missing out on any sail you were intending to purchase. Hope to hear from soon. Alan

Hi Ciao, thanks for your contribution and your positive comments. Wharram cats are a great way to go sailing DIY style and affordable too. Most of the sails I use are second hand (as you would expect) not to mention the mast and boom and most of the gear all being second hand too. I have a couple of spinnakers from a 26'er that maybe of interest to you. Don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested and I'll make sure you are looked after! Thanks again for your contribution and good luck. Alan

Hi Alan I have you added as a favourite and enjoy receiving your newsletter. My wife is a mad keen sailor having sailed half way around the world on a 21ft Wharram with a friend many years ago. We know own a simple Pacific 747 which brings us much joy :) It is so nice to try and get out every weekend to enjoy Pittwater (hoping to relocate to the harbour one day soon) We were wondering if you have any sails that would suit a 747 (mainly spinnaker) as we would like to fly a kite every now and then - although we have pretty much mastered the goosewing on ours :) Hoep you are well and happy - thanks for the newsletters - we look forward to them. Ciao Nicholas
