Clipper 382 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Light headwinds, perrect for the slow boats hcap results! Man, isnt Pahi having a blinder? Assume the arbitare crew have grown mullets to fit in out west? Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 front 3 have all tacked in the last hour - probably on the change in breeze to the west. Link to post Share on other sites
floatsome 0 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 the forecast is for SW-W later, so will be watching to see how they position. Bloody easy sitting at your desk... Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 anyone know what's going on with RTII and Scarlett? Is there a risk of entering the harbour with so little wind? Link to post Share on other sites
grant 46 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 8-10 knots of southerly so shouldn't be any issues.... Link to post Share on other sites
eighty8 1 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Ran Tan also looks like turned around heading NW - maybe the tracker position is out, or something local going on to avoid harbour Link to post Share on other sites
Neil 35 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Was thinking it looks a bit like a combo of no wind and the Karori rip running? Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 its weird because at0915 RTII were doing 5kts in the wrong direction. High tide was at 0845ish so that must have somiething to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 70 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 AIS confirms location and speed roughly west. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:174.6/centery:-41.3/zoom:12 Link to post Share on other sites
Farina 2 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 They will have adverse tide along the south coast until around 1400 hrs. Right now they have at between 1.5 and 3.0 knots right on the nose. Link to post Share on other sites
mattm 107 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Strange, I guess we might get a better idea at the 10:30 update. Predict wind still has 7 - 10 knots in the area Ran Tan are in, can't see them going backwards due to current in that breeze. I don't think they got close enough to the entrance for anything local happening there to worry them, the entrance is also plenty wide enough for ferries/ ships and them to go through together. If you ask some of the crews from the Central Triangle race, you can *attempt* to enter in no wind, may just take a while. The distance back to Blink has halved. Hope everything is OK out there.

eighty8 1 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 couple of earthquakes at 8am but no sign of a tsunami warning on civil defence, weird Link to post Share on other sites
Farina 2 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Scarlet has also hit the tide at cape terawhiti as well. Link to post Share on other sites
mattm 107 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Farina, where do you get your wind info from? They will be hirting if it is just tide and no wind, they are going backwards at 3 knots, and Miss Scarlet going forward at 3 knots. If they wait long enough, I'm sure Blink will be pleased to show them the way. Link to post Share on other sites
Farina 2 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Tide can get up to 7 knots along the south coast from sinclair head to cape terawhiti. Link to post Share on other sites
