eruptn 100 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I wonder if Team Vixen is aware we all know where they live, thanks to the live tracker…… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 440 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Strange that Playbouy is showing on the tracker as being in Mangonui this morning? Has Guy borrowed another Stewart rig or is he going to jump on someone elses boat ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 221 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 More likely selling them some Harken gear! Niksen needed a new winch, and Start Me Up had to fit their repaired prod. Arbitare are now out of the race with engine problems. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi_jon 27 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Arbitare has withdrawn but going to sail with the fleet down the West Coast. They will decide dependent on weather whether they go to Waikawa or home port of Wellington. SSANZ have let them keep the YB tracker so they will be visible on the tracker. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think it’s just the tracker updating, happens with quicker boats. Equlibium has similar for some of their tacks to 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 391 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Tracker only pings the position every 10min then uploads these every 30 so if you tack between pongs you get a track that looks like that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 221 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Next leg starts 4pm today. They will be heading back up the west coast, even though Katana just proved that East can be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The navy have said their boats got bashed going round there to help. An incident requiring assistance (from a Provence in a SOE) would be a PR disaster for a race which has good PR and reputation, and for sailing / sailors in general. From Katana’s blog - hardly sounds like he’s in race mode. 4knsb Tue Feb 28 2023 The other advantage of going slow is to avoid damage if I hit a log. Just seen a few big ones. Had hoped 30nm offshore would be safe…mmm East Cape Wed Mar 01 2023 Easy night with only a mainsail with 3 reefs. Trying to go as slow as possible in case of logs. 5-6 nm/hr Shame…great surfing conditions. We’ve passed or seen 7 big logs, generally within 20 meters of Katana last one just a few minutes ago, 25nm off East Cape. Probably same again reasonable size branches. I talked on the radio to the Wellington yacht Gannet. They were closer to the East Coast and lost count of how many they’d seen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
