waikiore 438 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Ok entries in last night, who else is coming for this Westhaven to Westhaven event? Could be NZ's Fastnet in a few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 438 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 There are a lot of 40' odd yachts that this would be ideal for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 317 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 we are thinking about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarpeDiem 507 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 We're in. 27 boats entered so far - 6 are Two Up. Would be great to see more boats at the ~0.79 PHRF point *hint* *hint* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Ass 49 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Kick is in, 35 footers don't appear to be very strong in numbers as to previous events. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 97 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I'm thinking about it. Have quite a full calendar as it is. Pretty decent turnout entry wise so far considering the last 3 Kings race had 8 monohulls and 2 multis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 438 Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Come on all you B division boats Black Pearl etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 317 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Rogue II is entered now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 438 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Only a couple of spots left, this could be a great sail-two handed or fully crewed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shimmer 43 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 So I hear, you guys owned that race last time. I would absolutely love to but November is always mental at work (boat owners are surprisingly unsympathetic to boat builders going racing) and I can’t see me having all the Cat 2 stuff sorted by then. As it is I have decided to just get Cat 3 for the triangle next year and then start working my way through the extra stuff for Cat 2. Currently oversizing the kite gear and building a new kite pole after last weekends pleasure cruise. Are you doing it on Legacy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 97 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Fair enough, annoying about your kite pole. We actually banana shaped a couple of poles on dad's twilight years ago and eventually changed the down haul setup which seemed to stop it happening. Yep Legacy's entry is in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmer 43 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 So the Coastal had to cancel, looks very likely that the SSANZ delta race will have to cancel, what’s the story with the 3 kings race? Are that looking to postpone or will this also end up in the list of “would have been awesome” races that we said good by to? I see the PCC has decided to hold the round rangi as a pirate event, I wonder if they will get any official reprimand for that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 386 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Talk is possible delay until end of March ish Things have to change before we can run the Delta race Now just hoping this madness doesn’t effect the Evolution Northern Triangle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmer 43 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Yeah that’s the big one I keep hoping we are able to do. On Shimmer it’s a tough slog getting through all the prep for safety inspections, slowly getting through the work I can do myself but things like getting an LPG certification are taking forever. I realize a lot of the other competitors will be in a similar situation. And almost 3 months after folding the kite pole in the SSANZ 100 I’m still trying to buy a new length of T 6 alli tube to build a new one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmer 43 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If we did “open up” early next year it could be a very full summer coastal racing program with the Northern Triangle, a delayed 3 Kings race and the fully crewed RNI all looking to be run between February and April something to look forward to anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarpeDiem 507 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Unless something miraculous happens in Monday's announcement, that allows close quarter sports to resume for 6 different bubbles, we're going to be sitting three Kings out in the unlikely event it goes ahead. It's now reached the point where there's simply not enough sailing days left to get the necessary practice and team work in for a race of that duration. Dropped a bucket of money on boat prep, the only bits I regret are the epirb and the flares, cause now their expiry date is ticking. 😕 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
armchairadmiral 411 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Yiu should get a credit. If it's good enough for a WOF it's the same thing ? Email YNZ & hope for a reply Quote Link to post Share on other sites
