waikiore 410 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The model for this one not too clear yet, I guess we can just check our lines - might pull the furling headsail off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frickie 9 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Yes it might make the A2T pretty interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 74 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 It's hard to pick what the weather will do due to the variations in the predictions, some models show reasonably quick conditions whereas some show terrible conditions! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 74 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Tauranga and RNZYS are currently looking at starting the A2T race to avoid the weather bomb which comes through at some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Tauranga and RNZYS are currently looking at starting the A2T race to avoid the weather bomb which comes through at some time. Looks like a Friday start might be a better option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 410 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 As an Aucklander, I have to say we have dodged it again about 5 knots and all the cranes still working around the viaduct.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 74 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 61 knots gusting to 110 knots, at East by North on White Is. At Waihi it is SW 25 kns. At Slipper it is 42 kn Gusting 54 kn from SW. Looks like the storm centre is heading out East a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 514 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 As an Aucklander, I have to say we have dodged it again about 5 knots and all the cranes still working around the viaduct.. Pretty soon Auckland officials will announce how pleased they were that their initiatives succeeded in minimising issues caused by the cyclone and how prepared auckland is for future events 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarkMT 68 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm just getting ready to board the ferry in Picton. Due in Wellington about 10:30pm. Hopefully the storm is moving slowly enough that things won't get too funky out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,607 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Some idiot just headed out in a powerboat. And hit the riverbank on the way out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Some idiot just headed out in a powerboat. And hit the riverbank on the way out. Is the river bank alright? Any other details? Trailerable fizz boat or launch? If he can't see the riverbank, I'd be a bit worried he's also bounced off some quality moored yachts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
