splashprincess 17 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The forecast is looking breezy and on the nose for the 12 boats set to start the Wellington to Nelson Race tomorrow Friday 16 January, with 35 knot northerlies forecast for Cook Strait for a time in the morning. Boats entered: Am Meer Blink Crusader Clear Vision Gucci Jet Jive Talkin Illusions Montego Bay 111 Prime Mover Wedgetail Can Crusader make it 2 from 2 line honours against Blink? How much sleep are the finishing crew going to get? Will the boats drink yet another club out of rum before Nelson Regatta starts? Updates will be posted here and on the RPNYC website www.rpnyc.org.nz as they come through, and hopefully some photos of the start if I can get away from work ... Link to post Share on other sites
