====== The Flying Trifle ======



{{  boats:2652-20071010a.jpg?450  }}



This boat (latterly known as "Oops (Again!)") is the first of the [[designs:trifle]] designs. This boat benefits from "turbo chines", rumoured to have been created by some nutter getting medieval with rear end with a chainsaw!



The owners have been John Lobb / Martin Harrison, [[people:Daryl Wilkinson]] who sold it to [[people:Neil Cardno]] and now [[people:Roland Trim]], bought her about four hours after the boat was put up for sale. Is this a record? This boat is somewhere in the flat-lands and hopefully we will hear more from her shortly.



The boat had a fair bit of modernisation with the Trims, including:
  - Added a tin mast.
  - Adapted an RS600 carbon mast to fit.
  - Made the boat a bit softer on by **[[tech:2652alteration|alterations to save our knees]]**. 
  - Removed the mainsheet post and obstructive castle.
  - Made a set of sails (these were totalled by flying teenagers).
  - **[[tech:2652alterationsnout|Added a snout]]**.
  - Made a 3.5m pole.
  - Added the "baby" - an RS800 kite with added grin factor.
  - Added a 12ft skiff white sail set to bring her to roughly 05 rules.
