eighty8 1 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just found this http://www.sail-world.com/Newsletter_sh ... nid=462509, so looks like 6pm private but probably view-able around Westhaven, then the fireworks nearby. Link to post Share on other sites

Grinna 2 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It's shiny ..... the crew will definitely need sunnies to sail with that wing. Link to post Share on other sites
chic014 0 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 From what I can gather from the notice to mariners there will be fireworks displays Two small ones right by the LR base at 1830 and and 1915 duration 1-2 minutes. I assume that's when the boat will go in the water or the champagne is smashed etc. Then a big one at 2100 outside westhaven by the squadron. Duration 9 minutes http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/l ... rs4012.pdf Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Some more Photos http://www.sail-world.com/NZ/index.cfm? ... ickerCID=0 No way is this boat - identical or a replica on ETNZ. which the story has be saying are. The rules re repair and testing with other syndicates can be read here and make interesting reading. I don't think you wil see ETNZ pushing their boat anymore. And are ETNZ and lunna Rossa cheating by sail testing together or on identical courses although far enough apart. http://www.sail-world.com/NZ/Gladwells- ... ame/103265 Link to post Share on other sites

203 0 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Fairly sure ETNZ and Prada are identical.. That was the whole idea behind them working together, two boat testing to see how they go etc.. Then they will split their separate ways... Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Actually - that's a good point - why would you make it identical? A very easy way to make the testing program 3 boat! Link to post Share on other sites
