Hi, i will tell you a tale of a 2 hr cruise.
Gilligan has lost his Red Gaastra Flow 2x 5.5m sail set on a NeilPryde 430, Red Neil pryde X3 160-210 boom surf n sail mast extension and a distinct green uphaul.

last seen West of Applecross, north of the radio tower, south of Nedlands Yacht Club (coordinates yet to be downloaded from GPS!)

Yep, dumped in the afternoon Squalls, as i, Gilligan, decided to paddle for shore, light fading, squalls increasing to white out, energy levels falling captain, boy it was a long way.

Thanks to Dan and Jet for the ride back to Nedlands from Apple cross.( Not as cross as the Mrs !)

have u seen Gilligans rig ?

Dude that seriously sucks.
Try the first light run down the beach to see if it turns up.

If you need some backup gear in the meantime i'll see what i can do.
