Duty Free

Recommended Posts

Yea.. I just tried it and got a reply from Vodafone "sorry - this service is not available at the moment, please try again later"

 

I have a suspicion that they might postpone the race start...

Not sure about txt service, that's Cams thing

 

No news at this point

If we delay it won't be decided until 0700hrs

The dilemma is if we wait too long there's a chance there won't be enough wind to finish.

 

Work on business as normal

 

The plan is to panic slowly

 

I will post here if anything changes, but not until after 0700

If anyone is wanting a bum scrub for this saturday please contact sooner rather than later as we need to organise ourselves. I am a 2 man team now so we can bang out more this week if needed. Get a group of you together and we can talk package deal. :thumbup:

 

Good luck on the race! :D

What ya reckon ... current forecast makes the shorthaul track a reach, run, fetch, beat.....

 

Couch potatoes should be able to follow racing using Predict Wind's Tracker (see below) and even sail their own warm, dry, pink coloured virtual Young 88 with SailOnline. More details and instructions can be found on their web page. http://sailonline.org/

 

Post below from the http://www.facebook.com/YoungEightyEight below together with a tip for boats with glass cabin tops keep phones dry with power to run the PredictWind Tracker all the way through the race.

Don't forget to set up your Predict Wind Tracker. Helps build class profile, supports sponsors and event and answers the "How the hell did they do that?" after the race.

Info here http://www.predictwind.com/tracker/

 

Tip: If battery life is a problem try putting in a car windscreen mount stuck to inside of cabin window above chart table. Stays dry, gets signal and you can plug in

 

Friends and family can track your progress here http://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/race/ssanz.
