Jon 412 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Longhaul course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SMU's Crew 4 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The boss has suggested we be hardarses. I am feeling a bit soft and leaning towards the not so hard length. Go hard for a day or pace ourselves a bit for 3-4 days? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 The long course is a best case scenario I want the fleet finishing daylight Saturday, so I’ll shorten if need be to get the fleet in between Friday evening to Saturday afternoon If there are a group of 30 footers wanting a 300nm option we will look at that too The goal is to get everyone to smokehouse for a quite rum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 375 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Quiet rum? Yeah right. From what ive been told, some of the quiet rums get out of hand. I shoukd know, Ive done a couple of these, but struggle to remember the quiet rums. Or where my boat is. Or crew. Or sometimes pants. Gale Force is in for the hardarse course. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SMU's Crew 4 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Translation - My wifes balls are way bigger than mine Suss the entry list and see which course gives you the best race. Not a lot to be had from a long slog against 40-50fters you'll only see for 20mins at the start. There is far more to be gained by doing a shorter one against similar boats to yours. Actually his are bigger...me humble quiet wife???? He is the one that likes distance. I like everything bigger than a harbour race and less than two days???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Is there an entrant list yet? Truxton keen to race most likely longhaul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bazzathemammoth 38 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If I can convince one of the other owners to come I would like to do the not so hard arse 100nm course. We had a blast last year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yeah was initially thinking about a shorter course but seems like a long way to go to do 100. The delivery is longer. A big commitment for the long one though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 No list yet as no entries yet But there’s a good chance of being the first Wil. Should be worth a bottle of rum for being first I’m thinking, unless you win one for something else then we will share them around. If you enter early and decide your in the wrong division then we can sort that out later, but there are a good mix of large and small looking to do the longhaul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Sounds like an offer I cant refuse, we're in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 375 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Sounds like an offer I cant refuse, we're in. I see you have entered. Will hit up my crew for details and do the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jon 412 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 flc can you handle the aftermatch ? It’s been brought to our attention that we didn’t say no extras in the cruising division, after some thought about leaving it like that we have decided to do an amendment to not allow extras, but we have also decided to allow kids under 12 to be on board for the cruising division. Prize giving will be 18yrs and over or parental supervision as it may contain nuts, rum or both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 218 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 As long as your nuts don't get anywhere near me I think I should survive Jon Got the new rig Meister just not sure if we will have the money for sails in time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Ass 49 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Got the new rig Meister just not sure if we will have the money for sails in time It will all come with time, other things seem to pop up that are more important..... :-/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
