waikiore 398 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Could this year be the most interesting coastal for some time? With a MOD 70 approaching NZ , Frank Racing and the new 'cruising" cat from Roger Hill and the Trimaran from Vietnam certainly the multihull boys & girls will be having fun. So what quick Monohulls will be lining up..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 A little birdie told me there might be another Mod 70 and another ORMA 60...busy start line Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Could a Mod 70 get to the Duke in time for lunch? Used to be the record setting boats targeted getting in in time for dinner... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Maybe afternoon tea... 5 hours at 25 knots gets you there at 3... The muiltihulls will be awesome to see. The highlight of last years race for me was the flyby of ETNZ. that was awesome. I'm lining up two handed for probably my slowest coastal ever on my wifes new cruising boat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Yes I had forgotten that flyby at pace - it was truly brilliant, and yes another Orma from across the ditch hopefully. But back to real yachts I see that Wired is getting a new keel and maybe we might see a smaller Bakewell -white design that was exported years ago back soon -that could spice up the smaller classes.

markm 30 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Not sure about fast monos but based on recent PHRF applications, diverse may well describe the fleet. Probably not all doing coastal but of recent time as well as the BBW 37, there's a Van De Stadt 34, Luders 44 (1963 from a 1933 original), a Nando Fa modified Open 60 (no extras) and then throw in the 65ft Hoake ketch on the entry list, not exactly the same as a batch of 1020s, 11.6s, 1050s, Y11s and 88s.

Magique 3 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The Vplp Mod 70 will be amazing to see in the race. Can be a handful though: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
