Ex Machina 390 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Is matewa the XP44 that got seized by a marina somewhere in Auckland and sold to defray outstanding hard stand fees ? They are having a good race . omega and titanium have done really well for under 40 foot . I can currently see pacific Sundance and kick duking it out just off the coast with cracked sheets , bloody horrible small but lumpy sea with all the breeze changes in the last couple of days from south to east and back a few times in between .

ex Elly 266 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Ma Te Wa is an XP 44, used to be called Lawless. Omega 8 is a BW12.5, used to be called Time to Burn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Ass 51 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 We rounded the king's 15minutes behind Omega, unfortunately don't do upwind like she does, they did superbly well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 489 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Match racing up the harbour against two completely different designs after 600 + miles is something I will remember , poor old race officer solo in tower had to deal with five boats finishing at once after all that way and total position change six times between Devonport and Westhaven. Thats why yachting is great stuff! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 489 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Standout performances from -Two Handed Titanium Fully Crewed Omega -with a largely young crew Scotts team did very well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 489 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Its on again 11 April 24, Unfortunately the organisers seem to have ignored the feedback and most yachts will go around under the cover of darkness with the same sort of start time as last time!!

I think your doing well to predict a night time rounding for most boats this far out from the event! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
