Mariner End of Year Rum Race


Guest

Recommended Posts

This is a rum race, so sails allowed are limited to Mains, Mizzens, sails designed to

be attached to the forestay, mizzen staysails, gollywobblers.

 

I like this rule. Are there prizes for innovation ?

Anyone want to come for a ride on a multi tonight ?

 

This Way Up is looking for crew.... we promise we will keep it "This Way Up" ....

 

Preferably an extremely attractive female, and one that likes to drink rum. :)

 

BYO rum, ginger, and brown undies.

Bugger, knot going to make it. Bloody weather, slack boaters and concrete trucks. One truck took out our water main at 6.30 this morning. One took out the entire pipe at 7am last Friday morning. It's been an interesting week or 2 :?

 

Now off to make sure one or 4 entries are ready this evening though. There's something really wrong about that :?

 

Next year we are closing for Xmas on Nov 30th so all of those who finally decide to sort the problem, they have known about for 3-4 months, 2 days before Xmas can get ......... :twisted:

David, can you advise if you're using numbers?

 

If so, will the numbers be actual time (ie, 45 for 17:45) or 0 for 17:45, 1 for 17:46, 2 for 17:47 and so on? Also presuming if you have numbers, boats start when their number goes up, as distinct from when it is taken down?

 

 

75 entries, updated list shortly.

I've been told the numbers are in the tower so we can use them, in which case we will display 40 at 1740, then 41, 42 etc,. There will be horns as well ( 5,4,1, go then every minute) 00 at 1800 then 01 etc.The only issue is I haven't physically checked they are there, should be OK.

 

 

Did that make sense? Any queries?

If the numbers are there we won't mess around with flags, Grinna needs a hand free to pour drinks.

 

Rigger, I'm home now if you want to call back, I've lost your mobile number.

The horn is driven by an air compressor so you can blow it all night

Hey thanks for doing this. Not that anyone really gives a toss but maybe we should use that very cunning "non-spinnaker" filter on the racetrack h/c system next year? cheers

Final count 76.

 

There are a few extra goodies and baubles on the tables at the YC, so be early. Remember if you aren't there to claim a prize it goes to someone else., And the Mount Gay Lady has been extremely generous.
