Battleship 100 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I just took it to read that weather routing for the RNI was a no-no. But I seem to remember that Cameron was one of the SSANZ guys so I could be wrong, would be good to know for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ok I see. "Allowable sevices must provide the same information to all boats and not provide boat specific weather routing information" I can see how you would read it that way. I think that "services" clarifies it. Everyone is allowed readily available information to apply to their own boats (whether they're paying for it or not) What's not allowed is some guru in an office or some other advanced setup sussing out your next move or providing an analysis after checking out the map and then posting it on a personalised website. At least I think I've got it right. Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 76 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 As long as I do my own weather routing and use GRIB files downloaded from a source freely available to everyone, and not boat specific... ie not a privately setup just for me source Then no worries !!!

floatsome 0 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 i would also put a bottle of rum on a certain new Cookson 50 to do well on IRC if he can make it...BOI that is! Link to post Share on other sites
Dibley 3 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 And still..... we wait.......... Dibley and Cameron.I was refering to the off shore races run from NZ so you guys are right. I recall wiining the Air New Zealand International inshore serries IMS regatta in Sunday Sun, a 30ft Warwick beating all the purpose built IMS boats including the Mumm 36's. These were all windward - leward races so the bigger boats dont get going .. Not only will a 10.20 do well under IRC, ( I know you have Cameron) You could win with a Chico 30 which had a gift rating under IMS. And to Dibley, The new RP must do well in the NZ races ( off shore ) for 2 reasons, the first being it will be the latest IRC rated boat and the 2nd is that there will be very few boats in the races which have an IRC rating. And it will be well sailed. Happy to put a bottle of rum on that one. The test will be the Aussie regattas. Ray Haslar is too good of a sailor to put a rum against him so I'll pass on that one , but as far as R/P go, they will need to launch their design within a very narrow rating to do well either in NZ (or Australia). It will be a difficult ask considering the Trial Ratings from RORC are just that, trial, and full of presumptions. If this is the 2nd of that design being launched, then no problems, they can learn from the first and tweak EED to to be competitive. With that said, I do hope, for Ray's sake, that the risk goes his way, as a million dollar yacht is alot of money.... Link to post Share on other sites
