Guest Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Or start with a weather prognosis?? Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 There will be weather, just not very much and what little there is somewhat prone to taking naps Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thank You Mark, perhaps you are better qualified to answer the first question. Link to post Share on other sites
floatsome 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Cameron, what h'caps are you running? Just PHRF or do you have your own as well, do you have a list? I am picking Karma Police to win it, but thats only if the breeze stays consistent otherwise pick a number! That Elliott 1850 Zindabar, is that the big schooner from Warkworth??

Absolution 7 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 This is the thread to post anything in regards to the first leg... So who's going to win on PHRF ? Looking at the forecast I would say it will be someone with a Code 0... i.e not us. Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron 76 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 The handicap systems will be PHRF and IRC. I don't fancy the complaints (plus dealing with a conflict of interest by competing myself) While I'm at it I'd like to apologise to Markm and the PHRF committee for anything I may have done to offend them. p.s I can still update the PHRF's for leg 1 if there are any late changes.

Guest Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Haha nice post Cam, but I think your apologies will be too little too late, a friend of mine told me he heard you on the dock the other day claiming that PHRF was a real mess and that it was all the fault of the PHRF committee and especially that guy Mark who uses his own wierd system to further screw the palying field. Apparently you also said that the stories of yachties who deliberately under perform their boats outside of major events, keep their best sails for major events and generally fuk with the system are just the excuses of an incompetent committee and that the problems of PHRF are all at the feet of YNZ's PHRF committee. There will be no complaints from us re handicaps, the various weather conditions relative to a boats strengths and weaknesses and resulting tactics will decide this tour. Congratulations to SSANZ for organising a fantastic event and getting us all to the start line on time, we will be doing our best to contribute to a brilliant two weeks of shorthanded sailing (both on and off the water), Hats off to SSANZ!!

markm 30 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What terrible things to say Cam, I'm shocked, and I offer my sincere thanks to Marsh for pointing this out. Just to refresh my memory Cam, it was Bird on the Wing you were sailing on? Hope all goes well and the weathers not too cruel to all those racing, even for those on 1050s.

Guest Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I can think of a few people who might have said that.......... Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 76 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Your onto it Mark. I guess thats one bird that won't fly now... Mind you I do think your suggestion of giving Akatea time is a little harsh. Only a man of Marsh's talents could hope to perform that well ! hehe I reckon the best boat for boat racing is going to be in the 35footers. Should be AWESOME ! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 We've just looked at it too and there will definitely be weather tomorrow. Really excited about this race starting. Good luck to all the competitors. I'm shocked by your remarks Cameron. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Truxton is all set to go. Division 3 is going to be super competitive. My pick for div 3 phrf is dainaide, coppela or that 53fter with the ladies. Same length if not longer than the 35fters and the planning boats wont get any chances to get away in the first 2 legs. Would think danaide would probably bash us all on the wind pretty easily. good luck to everyone. Tuesday may not be too much fun infact the whole west coast leg is shaping up to be a slog the whole way. Remember to check out www.fyfesails.co.nz to follow truxtons reports and pics/vids.
