ex Elly 229 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Napier is out of action. So latest plan is for a 3 leg race. Mangonui, Picton, then round East Cape to Auckland. But if too much debris or lack of rescue services, then after Picton back up west coast round North Cape to Auckland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 454 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Surely there is an opening for an in port event at Napier -log rolling , any Canadians entered? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 454 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Nice to see Playbouy going the full classic route for this event -with a bowsprit as Pahi and the other glass one did when they went round a few years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 755 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Theres a long list of time consuming work getting a boat ready to do this race! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarpeDiem 512 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 My heart goes out to the Playbuoy team! It's incredibly disheartening for them to face such a major setback after investing months of planning and effort towards reaching the starting line. To have the rug pulled out from under them must be a crushing blow to their aspirations. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 54 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Oh no!! What happened? Someone hit them in marina or something gave up? If the later probably better to happen now than in a blow 250nm off the west coast. Very sad to see either way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 229 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Pre-start incident. And Start Me Up is looking for a welder when they get to Mangonui. Meanwhile the boats are in now in Bream Bay, and those who have gone into the beach are running out of wind, while those who stayed out have good breeze. E.g. Urban Cowboy now doing 2.6 knots, and Shimmer doing 6.3 knots. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psyche 755 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 We pulled the mast out of Playbuoy this morning, obviously very disappointed but the boys have already moved on and planning for the RNZ. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
