Black Panther 1,691 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So I'm at westthaven and have to get her into race mode. It's been a few years. Do you tow the dinghy or put it in the Davits? Bimini up or Bimini down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mothership 6 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm heading in from Titirangi, leaving in an hour or so if anyone is being responsible and not driving in, and wants a lift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 521 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Great fun. Nasty t-bone between No Worries and Crocodile right in front of us. We blew the outhaul traveller car but the safety strop held to get us to the finish. Any results? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Agreed! fantastic sailing out there. A great way to find out what is and isn't bolted down. We had quite a few minor failures, mostly caused by lack of prep time on my part. Which is why we had the small jib on, although once we got past north head we weren't doing too badly. The reach back from Saltworks was magic We don't have a log, but it was FAST, full on apparent wind stuff. And a lot nicer than the beating we took, um, beating out. and then a nice relaxing jaunt back up to the finish, when all the kids decided to surface from the hulls. 'twas cool to see Black Panther, Taeping and Sundreamer powering along, even if they caught us far too early on. Or in the case of BP, got further in front! One of our guys got quite a few photos, if I can get them I'll upload them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freedom GBE 27 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well organised race, perfect course. Prizegiving was fun dancing girls and all. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole night and great way to end this years racing. Thank you to the organisers, fantastic job. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Did anyone get any good photos on the night? Things were a little hectic on our boat, but I was would love to see some others! And do we have a list of results? I know we were at the back, but would like to see if my predictions were correct Quote Link to post Share on other sites
