violethour 0 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Anyone need 2 more crew on Wednesday? We're two 30-something cruisers from Seattle visiting NZ and are in Auckland this week. We left our boat on the hard 3 months ago, so it'd be awesome to get out on a boat in the city of sails. We have lots of cruising experience and a bit of casual racing experience.

markm 30 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi people A bit of a mixed forecast this year. 15kts from somewhere between west and north west which is certainly a positive, though some mention of rain, hopefully that's a tiny bit late. Be a little aware there may be a touch more breeze than the forecasts would have us believe, hopefully not though. Different courses again this year, the short course comes in at about 8.2nm and the longer course 11.5nm. Am going to try something a little different this year, as you'll see, this year boats will be finishing traveling in an easterly direction rather than the ever popular but rather boring west. As usual, for those starting last on the short course or first on the long course, if you particularly want to sail the other course, let me know and I'll see what can be arranged. Short Course : 8.2nm: From the start rounding Orakei to starboard, Resolution to starboard, Bayswater to port, Chelsea to port finishing in an easterly direction between the ODM and the tower. Long Course : 11.5nm: From the start rounding Northern Leading Buoy to starboard, Resolution to starboard, Bayswater to port, Chelsea to port finishing between the ODM and the tower in an easterly direction. The start line is defined as a line from Westhaven tower to the outer distance mark (ODM), the finish line is also a line between the tower and the Outer Distance Mark. Start times shall be signalled with number boards on the tower and we will endeavour to broadcast each start time on VHF ch77. We expect to coordinate start times using GPS time so starting on your GPS time should work well. Keep in mind people you are sailing under Collregs which do require a higher degree of caution while navigating in close proximity to other vessels. There are also insurance implications so if close to other vessels, throttle back the racing enthusiasm, no one wants a damaged boat just before their Christmas cruise. Also take care going through the bridge, head versus boom is never fun and the boom usually wins. Any questions, please email me at mmulcare@xtra.co.nz Start times, as at 06:00, Tuesday 18 December : 8.2nm course : 17:48 Serene 17:48 Stinger 17:50 Lightning 17:52 Timeout 17:53 Sweathog 17:57 Bondi Tram 17:59 Hot Gossip II 17:59 Morgana 17:59 Cool Change 18:00 drop dead fred 18:01 Young Magic18:02 Arohia18:02 Hotdogger 18:02 T Rex 18:02 Sailor Moon18:03 Elliphunk 18:03 High Spirits 18:04 Strike Free 18:04 Kia Kaha 18:05 Carpe Diem 18:05 Duty Free 18:05 Placido 18:05 Legacy III18:05 Thor 18:09 Sign It 18:09 Fast Company 18:09 Chain Reaction 18:09 Team Sex 18:09 Enigma I 18:10 Fun-n-Games 18:10 Waka 18:11 Atomic 18:12 Extreme 18:12 Lady Nada 11.5nm course : 17:45 Lady Nada 17:45 Transformer 17:45 Motorboat II 17:46 Bizzarre 17:47 Atamai 17:48 38 Special 17:50 Innismara 17:51 Force Eleven 17:53 Black Pearl 17:58 Mojo18:02 Systems Thunder 18:04 Knee Deep II 18:04 Anarchy 18:11 Ran Tan II Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 What happened to all the multis that were giving me stick? I've got the tricycle wet, and got the car packed, so where are you all hiding? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moulet 0 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm looking for a couple of crew for a skid on Extreme tonight Please call me on 021 1732 808 Mark (Moulet) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thanks for organising that again Matt and Mark. We failed to finish, but still had fun. Our windward stuff needs work, it was dark as we got to the bridge. But home safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well done to Anarchy - getting third place by flying extras in a no-extras race! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ptown 14 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Yep, such a fun race. One of these days we'll have to start on time. If anyone picked up our inflatable parrot MOB PM me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 397 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Another great night and the rain held off, we should have made our way up to the club a little quicker though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Yep, such a fun race. One of these days we'll have to start on time. If anyone picked up our inflatable parrot MOB PM me We passed it off Devonport wharf, during one of our hundreds of fn wide angle tacks. Considered picking it up, but time was against us- we were already last, and I had an early start this morning. Also, pretty sure it was a corpse by then, wasn't doing much swimming Quote Link to post Share on other sites
