Wild727 5 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 What an awesome weekend! We sure are sociable for a bunch of solo sailors!!! Great prizegiving, great food and just good fun! And it all ended up in a singalong on Kristina!!!! Andrew has given up so much of his time (and money) to make this series what it is. And i would just like to say big thank you to both you and Helen. Shirts look awesome (although wearing them whist hangover is not advisable) Bring on the next overnighter in a solo series!!!

raz88 97 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks all for an awesome weekend! Especially the organisers, sponsors and helpers. Are the full results online anywhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraigF 0 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks to all for a great weekend, good food and good company. Especially Andrew and the organisers and Grant and His Daughter on the Watchman. I had a great sail home, boat was trucking along, Crossed tacks with the Watchman at Torbay bouy. I saw the catamaran chasing hard and closing quickly on the reach after Torbay bouy. But then he peeled off towards Tiri. Guess Charlie broke something, Be good to hear what happened. Rolled around A bouy and laid Rangi Light. Then had a drag race to the finish with the Watchman. He seemed to be able to point a little higher and laid the finish, I had to throw in a couple of tacks. and crossed the line just as his anchor took hold. Also thanks to Dave and Antipodes for standing by at the finish. Will hit the voltaren for couple of days to recover. Enjoyed it all and will be back. Be good to get a few more 35 footers out there.
