The Fastest Ross 930


Yeap you guessed it, none other than Suburban Reptile

Suburban Reptile photoed during the recent B&G Simrad 100 2 Handed Race held by SSANZ.

While the R930's were up against some very hot competition Suburban Reptile was the fastest 930 in the fleet.

Seen here being sailed by Wobblykins and Knumknuts.

It should also be noted this seriously fast 930 also took out Class 1st on line and 1st on handicap in the recent PCC Winter Series. 

Note the extra special racing paint job. Less paint equals less weight so it's faster???? That's the owners theory and he is sticking to it. The rumours of him just being to much of a lazy bastard to repaint it are sadly true.

And Yes, it is true, the 930's do kick the 88's arse.
