  3. Rasmic has recently been reincarnated as Bobby in our household. He is a great source of info on those heady days of off-shore cruising and racing in the 30s. Straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. He hasn’t got much good to say about Georg Dibbern who turned him down as crew for one Trans Tasman despite his NGATAKI experience.

    I can bring Rasmic’s great great great grand nephew along as ballast if required !
