ex Elly 197 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 1994 Waikato Yacht Squadron 100 Miler Gulf Classic 10 minute documentary. Was aired on national TV during a cricket delay. Spot the stubbies, and moustaches, and beer bellies! Lots of Ross and Elliott boats... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Battleship 100 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Nice find recognised quite a few boats and people on that one. Funny I thought 1994 wasn't that long ago until now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwifish 30 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 That is epic, great watch thank you. Does anything to that scale still happen with trailer boats? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Pretty sure the Waikato Yacht Sqaudron still runs the 100 miler Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elevation 3 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 The Gulf Classic is on the 12 March 2017. Unfortunately the numbers entered have been dwindling over the years. Be great to see a good sized fleet in March. Elevation will try to get there. There is another mid length race for Trailer Yachts on Lake Rotoiti on the 26 November 2016. The Rotoiti Classic caters for all with a 50 mile course for A Div, 34 Miles for B Div and 17 Miles for C Div. There is also a 50 mile Div for multi's.
