waikiore 485 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Great to see a NZ entry in this race -with the well sailed old campaigner V5 entered, apart from the Santa Cruz she has a good chance of taking line honours . Only 7 entries at this stage, hopefully they will then all enter the Coastal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 485 Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Nope, but the owner has been balancing on one leg for a while, and I imagine the cost would not be insignificant for that sort of campaign. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jono G 43 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 V5 will eat the Antipodes SC72. She is the same speed as a good Ker 40. Mayfair for 2nd. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jono G 43 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Anyone thinking about buying a decent offshore race boat should take a look at Frantic when she arrives. As I understand it she has a near new rig too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muzled 140 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Antipodes the 22m maxi looking thing just blazed past rangi light at 9.6 knots with a fair bit of white underside visible... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
