Vorpal Blade 88 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Ive talked about this event with a bunch of people and all report to as being a hugely fun thing to do, so I'm keen to give it try (subject to kids sports programmes etc etc). What other multis are keen to join in on this but need a bit off encouragement to join in.? If any of the smaller racers/8.5s want to give it a go but don't want to carry boom tents, cooking sh*t etc etc or even venture below their own boats to sleep the VB will have a few spare bunks. Hey, we could even offer to carry all of your food/beer/rum if you are concerned about displacement. Or maybe even try to get a few other slower cruisers like us to partner up with a race boat or two and make a team event out of it.... Discuss.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The GBE is intending to do it. I could be convinced - won't be very quick though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vorpal Blade 88 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 The GBE is intending to do it. I could be convinced - won't be very quick though! That will be both of us at the back of the fleet then, maybe you could have a word with the handicappers. I maybe need to start thinking about making some downwind sails before then, if I do it will be a guaranteed upwind event. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dambo 41 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Very tempted.. Route 66 the weekend before, RYC Cruising race 5 the w/e after, Jack Tar Regatta the next w/e and then RYC Cruising Race/Kawau the w/e after that. Sailing every w/e... hmmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal Blade 88 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 But wait, theres more!! We could well be adding Pulse, Mysterx and Tango to the list and perhaps a GBE or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Unfortunately I'm out. Just realised that it's my turn to entertain the yobs I used to knock round with at school on the 10th Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm sure we'd love to accomadate us/you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vorpal Blade 88 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm sure we'd love to accomadate us/you! Are you on the committee ScottiE? How many do we need for separate start, preferably last so we don't have traffic on the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 No not on the committee - just a club member. I'll give John a call later today - he's probably listening here anyway! I'm quite keen to get a social "river raft race" thing going but just haven't had the time to put any effort into it (I'm kicking myself about this double booking but its the only day that works this summer the get together at my place) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim C 23 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It's our SYC Ladies race that weekend. So Pulse will be at Kawau, but can't do the race I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
