Tim C 23 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What's the plan for sending in Race reports this year? I guess with smart phones we can just post direct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,717 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Yes. Well start a new thread for race reports. When I started it was a major effort to get reports photos or video. Not so any more. Is there going to be tracking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chariot 244 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yes I noticed her out practising whilst it was too breezy for the squadron to race last Wednesday, Kumi would have been proud. They would need it on the nose like when Kumi won the Auckland to Gisbourne race. Probably wanting norwest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

splashprincess 20 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If anyone wants a way of protesting a competitor out let me know. There is a nice flaw in the Race Docs that has opened up a good angle to have a crack if someone wants too. No I'm not going to put it here, I may need to protest you out and if I say out loud .......... :twisted: Is that anything to do with the new version of sailing instructions added to the website as "There were some errors in the Sailing instructions loaded to the website on Friday 13 October. " Or something different??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
