Had to tow Rigmarole to the start, glad it paid off!!

 

yeah, we couldn't find them when we got out to start, checked our phones to find 4 missed calls asking for a tow...

 

worst support boat ever!

How are the division splits worked?

its a "Dark Art"

if I told you I'd have to kill you

or maybe I just make them up as I go along ?

 

The thing to note is the major trophies are by division not overall

KM, scored using base passage PHRF.

 

SSANZ gave themselves the option to move the division boundaries to fit actual entries into 'sensible' groups, but by the looks, boundaries are :

 

910 and above, div 1

865 to 909, div 2

790 - 864, div 3

under 790 div 4

 

Think they did a pretty good job with the groupings.

the grouping look pretty fair to me. evenish numbers in each div as well.  Nice work dark arts master.

Previously the range of the divisions was fixed but unfortunately we don't know who will enter at this point, which lead to only 3 yachts in div 1 last time.

Two of them turbo and one naturally aspirated

 

So this time we have gone for

Div 1, top fuel

Div 2, fast 40 somethings

Div 3, 35 or close enough family frighteners

Div 4, classic Kiwis

 

There are a couple there that we had to fit as best we could but the goal was to get even competition within divisions as close as possible so anyone can win there division if they sail well enough plus with 4 legs in different conditions the best sailed Yacht just seems to rise to the top for some lucky reason.
