SSANZ Lewmar Triple Series


Recommended Posts

Entries open

We have added a open division to the small boat course, aimed at first timers or been there done that, extra allowed but only shortest course.

The committee has given it lots of names I can’t mention here, but it should appeal to quite a few I’m picking, Don’t enter your Fast 50 or the likes as you may be called out if you do.

Great idea to split the smallboat division!   :thumbup:

 

It used to be strictly 26 feet and under, but lately has included bigger and bigger boats making it pretty tough on the real smallboats, and a bit of a mismatch.

New sailing instructions: Looks like they now have the ability to move the start line, it is not fixed at Northern Leading.

 

8.6 iv) looks like a typo: "Emu Rock Iliomana Rock Beacon" - 2 marks merged, and one spelt incorrectly.

8.5 Lewmar Doyle Sails Short course "Haystack (Orapapa) Island," no rounding is given, presume it should be starboard.

That’s why they are drafts, keep up the good work thanks Elly

Used to be under 26ft or something like that from memory, the problem is there are some 30ftrs that fit and some 25ftrs that don’t so trying to work off a RaceTrack rating, and if a yacht is a real outlier we will try and encourage them into the div that’s the best fit

As for the start yes now moveable

However this is only likely to happen in extremes of weather like last year, so expect startline to be as per normal, however if there was a incident in the vicinity or conditions that made it unfair we now have the options stated in the SIs to be able to up and move.

Another change is we can now change a course up until the preparatory signal for a division

, ie if we found out that Shearer’s Rock buoy had sunk we can substitute it with say Tiri Navy Buoy, or drop it altogether if the conditions looked like boats weren’t likely to finish within the time limit without having to put the division onto the short course.

Effectively opening up some more options

LH1 entries looking flash - is this the highest avg handicap fleet ever?

Not sure but since last time I looked miss Scarlett has entered too. It's certainly a list of very cool boats. Will be fun to watch!

Why are all the Y88's only doing the short course? 

 

Is it because they are less comfortable than 930's, 830's and SR26's?

 

 

 

 

 

 

;-)

 

 

 

  

The Farr 36 canter? Awesome, that looks a really cool boat!

It’s on its way from the West Island

It’s going to swap in for Provincial Cowboy in the RNI

Yep should be a fun ride....well maybe not upwind in big breeze but we’re kind of used to that. And maybe a bit wetter all round than we are used to.

 

I’m heading over to Newcastle on Friday to pack up the boat with Tom, the previous owner. It has its own shipping cradle which is helpful. The boat leaves the marina on a truck on Monday and is due in Auckland around the third week of July. A few jobs to do before she’s in the water not least of which is figuring out how to put it all back together. It’s a bit tight to make Race 2 but we’ll have a crack at it.

 

She’s now registered in NZ and awaiting PHRF, not sure we’ll like it tho.

 

The boat has been used largely as a day sailer the past few years so needs to be spec’d back up for coastal stuff. There are a heap of spare parts but we don’t really know what it comes with except we do know there is a set of stanchions and lifelines which is handy.

 

The boat does have lifelines across the transom now - Tom says he had to fit them because he kept losing people off the back...
