All skippers must make there own call. There will be a start provided we don't get 35 sustained for 5 mins before the start.

Be careful out there, all skippers are reminded they are SOLELY responsible for their boat and crew. The decision to go rests with the skippers only.

we got blown off course at rough rock

 

tried to put a reef in our old dodgy dacron main

 

sort of worked til bean rock

 

then the the reefing strop blew out and the main went horrible enough that we couldn't get above bean rock

 

so we headed off down the harbour 

 

dropped the outboard, then the sails

 

and limped back late

 

great event Matt

 

what memories are made of

I Hope everyone had a great race and those I did get to enjoyed a couple of extra sail ties. I didn't take a camera out with me and if anyone has some photos of the Lancer Thundercat playing Santa I would love to put them up on our FB page. I appreciate I was bit close to some peoples start times!

 

Have a great summer

Was definitely pretty willing conditions. Full main and rum race jib on down the harbour. Cruising along nicely at 8 - 9 knots with the odd burst up to 12 knots. Got a little exciting as we rounded North Head and closed in on Rough Rock. The fleet had compressed quite a bit at this point and we had a pretty healthy 22 + knots with a couple of gybes to do. Had some near misses with some boats that were in marginal levels of control haha.

 

Managed to get a reef in on the run down to rough rock, gybed around the mark and settled in for the long beat home. Got held up a bit by Space Station as they tried to put a reef in but eventually shot through to leeward and carried on trying to chase down the early starters.

 

Had a good upwind to Orakei but probably suffered a little on the tight reach back to the finish. Our lack of waterline length is not our friend at this point of sail.

 

No broken bodies or damage to the boat, so would call it a successful outing!

 

Thanks everyone that organised it and all those that went out for a sail!

 

Good times!

yip #1 good times on WO. Ran full main and J3 all race, loved the downhill, and went ok back up hill too. Had a couple of crew that hadn't been out for a long time (one sailor hadn't been out since we dropped the rig over a year ago), and we all enjoyed ourselves.

 

Sad to see the damage and some hurt bodies on other boats, but all in all looked like people coped pretty well.

Bloody great race thanks team.

 

First time I've ever grannied The Entertainer. We had a few newbies on board who were looking at me sideways after our first gybe... Looked like a bit of carnage for some.

 

I don't think we hit anyone with the waterballoons my daughter had spent so much time filling. Oh well, next year.
