Clipper 343 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Is Northern leading buoy still missing? We need a mark for sundays race? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Was missing on Sunday. Nearest safe substitute would be Flax Point yellow racing buoy, about 500m away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clive 13 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Can you also post the SI's and course? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi Guys Have spoken with harbour master and mark is still missing so... Amendment attached for this Sundays course - replacing Northern Leading Buoy with Rangitoto Race Marker. Hope you all have a great race, and will see you at the club for a beer after.

Marshy 30 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Oh Goody! We have just be advised that Motokorea Buoy is also missing - someone wants to make our life harder! Anyhow please see amendment 2 - replacing Motokorea Buoy with a Laid mark in the vicinity of Motokorea for the start and finish mark for this sundays race.

madyottie 82 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Looks like perfect weather for it. So frustrating waiting for my repairs to be finished. I left the experts to it instead of building my own new boards, but now wishing I'd done both, 'cos I'd be sailing again by now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Was actually a great day out. Hard work in the new boat, everything is pretty far away from everything else, and I saw between 7 and 27 knots of breeze so had a bit going on at times, but a very enjoyable experience overall. Have been meaning to post here and say thanks to the bbyc team for putting the day on for us. Sorry for not coming up the river but a beat back up the harbour on my own in 20 knots looked hard enough already without having a few beers and then having to push the tide as well.

Marshy 30 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 At least 3 so far - have got entries from Sledge, Voom and Dirty Deeds. But always welcome more Have heard back from 18 boats so far confirming they are coming, and there are about another 12 that have entered last year that im awaiting confirmation back from - so should be its usual massive event!!

ScottiE 174 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 tried desperately to get a pass out if only to provide somewhere for the others to sleep in comfort but regrettably the wife has made other plans. The boys and I might follow down for a nosey though if the weather looks okay - still trying to get that one across the line! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
