Island Time 1,215 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 SSANZ Safety at Sea Triple Series 2015 The first race starts on July 11th and with more than 50 boats already entered, this year is promises to be another fantastic and highly competitive series. This year the courses have been updated to allow for more corners and tactical decisions with some different landmarks chosen to send the fleet around. In addition to the course changes, the order of the races has been rearranged with a medium, long, short format to allow for some after race socialising once the last race in the series has been completed. The first race is the NZ Spars and Rigging 60 July 11th, followed by the Evolution Sails 100 August 8th and finishing with the Baltic 50 September 5th. Each race has 3 course lengths, Smallboat, Shorthaul and Longhaul. The Smallboat course is designed to allow smaller boats to compete and also combines a cruising division. Shorthaul covers the mid size and sports style keelers and the non spinnaker division. Larger keelers and multihulls go further afield in the Longhaul division and really test the endurance of the competitors. Briefing is set for 7pm at the RNZYS on Thursday the 9th July. Quite possibly one of the largest gatherings of likeminded sailors, the briefing is always filled with a couple of hundred yachties catching up and checking out the competition. Challenges get issued and bets placed, normally in liquid form to be paid up at prize giving. Prize giving is set for the 2nd October. Each series entry comes with 2 tickets to the prize giving and dinner with additional tickets being available for purchase for people wanting to bring extras. Entries close 6pm Wed 8th July.
