Clipper 343 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Does anyone know when the nor will be out for this? Or does anyone know the course? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yes Very soon But here's something to go on On the back of its huge success last year with 28 yachts on the starting line, the Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand (SSANZ) in conjunction with Chains Ropes and Anchors will be running another 2 handed event over Anzac weekend – the ANZAC250. With fantastic prizes and historic trophies up for grabs - there are three courses 60nm, 180nm and 240nm catering for all yachts from serious racers to cruising. All courses finish at Great Barrier Island for the prize giving and inaugural beach party with a rally back home to Auckland. Completion of the 240nm course will act as a qualifier for yachts and crew wishing to enter the famous SSANZ 2 Handed Round North Island starting in February 2016.

Battleship 100 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Awesome like the Party at Smokehouse idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Entries are open and 5 boats in so far Don't forget that we've add a small boat and cruising (for all the E1050's) divisions this year http://ssanz.co.nz/events/index.html?id=125 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve 34 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 8 boats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Is this correct or just a typo? 8.1 The following flags will be flown for each division: A Longhaul Division– Green Flag -- Greater than 0.720 PHRF B Shorthaul Division -- White Flag – Less than .0820 PHRF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Will, yes its correct. The idea here is that any boat above 0.720 PHRF (what we figured was about the lower end of the PHRF for RNI boats) can do the long haul division to qualify for the RNI race. For the shorthaul we wanted to limit the PHRF so this was all smaller boats to try and keep the spread down slightly and results tighter. We didn't want any bigger boats finishing a day ahead of the smaller ones. Depending on entries we could look at adjusting the maximum PHRF band for the shorthaul but for now thats where we are at. Hope it makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Clear as clear stuff thanks. Will be looking at the longhaul for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nate 2 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Are you considering this Clipper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes, but not in my boat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Changed 10 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Our plan is to treat it as a qualifier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Pretty sure you don't need to do the qualifier, unless you are in a different boat than last time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He has a different crew this time around I believe. It needs to be the same boat and same crew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 That makes sense. What is the policy following extensive modifications but same boat and crew? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 It hasn't been discussed really Will. Probably not a problem for small modifications like your transom, but I would assume that if you are changing something that would seriously alter the characteristics of the boat like a new keel or rig configuration then we would want you to do another qualifier. I will bring it up in the next committee meeting to get clarification for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duty Free 2 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Bump--16 Entries so far--For those (of us) not wanting to do the 250 or 180 mile races (which start on Thursday evening ) there is the cruising Division at 60 miles---leave Friday, still join the party at Barrier and take 2 days to get home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Shorthaul 180nm now open for multi's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Voom is preparing for the shorthaul. Still seems like a bloody long haul in a little multi, so will be more weather dependent then most. Will be a challenge for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hope Voom isn't too quick I've got to start the small boats and cruising division on Friday morning then sail out to Nagles Cove to be ready to finish the fleet. Lucky we have big diesel so should make it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
