Guest Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Meg Maraetai Sailing Club isn't an affiliated club from memory Who on earth told you that? For many years it wasn't as all your fizzy members didn't want to pay a YNZ levy so are you saying that it is now ? When the fizzies at MBBC kicked up a stink many years ago, we formed Maraetai Sailing Club which has been affiliated since. New Race Record I will post the results as soon as I can. I see the new record was only enough to get Simon 3rd on handicap, tough crowd you multihullers. Great to see you all there. Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Well done Simon. Talking to Jason yesterday, he said he thought the pig's record was about 2hr20min and a few of us weren't far off that with G3 way ahead. Link to post Share on other sites
MrWolf 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I guess the 20 gusting 30 might have put a few off but it was still a great fleet of boats. I haven't seen SD out with that big genny in that much wind (passage rock to finish) and she looked spectacular going upwind. Passed us doing at least 5 knots more than us. Much of the time was flying (or just about) a hull. I think we finished in 2.40, which is a pretty good time and Taeping were more than 10 minutes ahead and SD probably about 5, ahead. We did have a terrific run down the back of Waiheke often topping over 22 knots (fast for us offwind) but really struggle upwind in the fresh and a chop. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 They will be on our PHCC website and I will also transfer them to this thread. Big thrill for all watching G3. Seems he'd do well charging joy riders from what I heard last night. I got no takers for paying to sail with me?? We managed to sneak ahead of Future Feedback on the beat until some sloppy kite handling put us back to 1st loser. BBYC really dominated and took away the Top Club Trophy. Resivor (Joker 6.7) won the SSANZ 2 handed cup.(as well as most of the door prizes.) The breakwater party on the multihull platforms was sorely missed. Link to post Share on other sites

MrWolf 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The breakwater party on the multihull platforms was sorely missed. Yeah it used to be legendary that ! Since then we've all had repaints ! We need to attract back the cruising multis. My thoughts are 2 x multi starts, 1x at 9.30 for the cruising boats. Plus we should look at the prize side of things especially for the non racers, I would think it would be in the best interests of the NZMYC to better promote this event and perhaps we should offer some extra prizes ? In past years we've had well over 20 boats, and we need to get back to that. I just think from the multi point of view we need to promote it better. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 No problem including a restricted division for multis and coughing up another few rums and t shirts. Link to post Share on other sites
