889 is in Perth, now called Hard Act To Follow. If you are looking for boat locations there is a national register under the "About Flying Ants" tab, I know it's not 100% correct but it's a start. Orv

We owned No Idea for five years.From 1996 to 2001.
Our daughter was the last to sail No Idea at TCYC in Rockingham.
Our last Nationals with No Idea was at Toronto 99/2000.
Got a brochure here promoting the Flying Ants with a great pic of 889 on the front of it.
It's a real shame that the new owners decided to change the name-why do people do that?
There was quiet a few "No" boat names....such as
537 No Fear
856 No Excuse
520 No Use for a Name
550 No guts No Glory
889 No Idea

You want wind....we got wind!!

Im in that boat!! I just brought No Fear in November and have been fixing it up for the return of Flying Ants to the River Club (GRSC)next season..
My daughter is on the edge of sailing, as dancing is her first choice about 5 days a week. So when she asked to change the name its hard to say no...
We changed her Sabot this year to "Like Woteva". And I think we are going to try and keep the Woteva thyme happening...
I had
Wherezigon(121) then No Idea(889)
then Cherub I'm a mess (2989)

To keep them all linked..

We could sell The Edge(543)in Sydney after the Nationals at IYC,instead of bringing it back to WA,or I could track down 889,change the name back and send that over to you!
