Shimmer 43 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi Jon here’s a question for you with plans to do the 2NI next year I had planned on competing in the long haul division in the triple series this winter to get us some slightly longer potentially more challenging courses. However looking at entries in previous years this division seems to be mostly much faster boats than Shimmer leaving me thinking that we would have closer racing in the PIC division and that close racing always has us pushing harder. I can see benefits to both options. . . Any advice which you think would be of more use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 We have often had boats in this position and mostly they decide time on the water to be more beneficial than close racing, in RNI leg two you will only be in sight to North Cape and may not see another boat until you enter Cook Strait Enter longhaul, if no one else similar does and your going to be all alone we will swap you to SH. I did this in 2011 as was doing 2012 RNZ, in the 100 we were caught on the wrong side of a wind change, the finish boat said just send us your finish time 😂 That was the year the 40kts can in from the north and the yachts ahead wiped out and dropped rigs, we were so far last we decided no point in flying a kite so just two sailed home with no damage. So there’s often a silver lining to these things 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 267 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 There has been a mixup with the divisions. Evolution Sails 2 and 3 are round the wrong way in the Sailing Instructions. So 24 boats have inadvertently entered the cruising division. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 There will be so shuffling of the pack yet due to unbalanced numbers but 90 at this point is showing there will be another great fleet Entries close in under a week now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
