muttley 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Well we are off today on the 4th and final leg of what seems to have been a short race with a lot of partying for the team on Akatea. Leg 4 looks like it will be fairly quick.

Guest Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Just heard David Cooke talking to Peter Montgomery on the radio confirming the start has been delayed until Monday. Looks like another round of Rose at the yacht club Rodney. Good luck for the last leg once you do get started. Link to post Share on other sites
RainbowChaser 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Sailonline has just heard that postponement is until 1000nzdt on 7 March..... Thank you SSANZ/Cameron! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 That will please the boys on KP. ( wont be on the back of the truck now !!) They will have a very good chance of taking out this leg and the race if someone can get between them and Akatea on handicap. Can Cameron confirm the start time please .

Guest Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 http://www.expeditioncoppelia.com/ the Coppelians have posted on their website that the start will be sometime after 1000 on Monday. Link to post Share on other sites
muttley 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 After whats seems like a million rum tour a quiet day is the call and maybe even the movies. The trip home tomorrow looks to be even quicker than starting today Could be somefun surfing going on Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 You lucky buggers. Anyone needing a rest? I can be there in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 17 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Okay roadtrip to Napier over, now back in Welly as we really couldn't take another day off to wait for the start. Someone else will have to take over posting updates from now on. Will try to get some photos up tomorrow of the wine trail and boats tied up in Napier since they are there for another day.

Guest Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Anyone know why the start was delayed till Monday. They might miss the southerly ( 20kn ) breeze now. Perhaps Rodders needed more rum ! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The delayed start is due to 40- 60knots forecast and the race committee deeming it unsafe to send the fleet off. Incredibly sensible decision by the SSANZ organisers. Tomorrow is looking good and the first leg where there is actually some "fun" sailing rather than no wind sail bashing or survival sailing for the majority of the fleet.

Guest Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 any updates.....was it really that windy last night ? Link to post Share on other sites
floatsome 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 KP already around Mahia, this is going to be a quick leg! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Apparently averaging 13 knots Link to post Share on other sites
wal 27 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 M1's big problem is lack of sail inventory - specifically any type of chicken chute/genniker. The fractional is still the size of the old masthead so in the fresh they've got a bit on. The Code 0 is now back in one piece so they'll be good if the breeze lightens and goes forward. They're all keen to get to the finish....... Link to post Share on other sites

splashprincess 17 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 M1's Code Zero is back in one piece cos Wal and Roger worked all hours of the day to put it back together! Link to post Share on other sites
floatsome 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'll bet Petal wishes you sold him a nice small I point gennaker now Wal! KP is abreast of Gisborne so at that pace I doubt if the boys have had anything too big up! This evenings sked should be interesting.. Link to post Share on other sites
wal 27 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Petal kept asking us to fang one together. We had the cloth and it would have been fun cutting it out on the Napier YC lino floor Ran out of time Link to post Share on other sites
Changed 10 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sad to hear about the boys on Pepe breaking the mast. I thought carbon was bullet proof. Must be a bit of breeze out there. Hope they get into Gisborne OK. Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 17 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Ouch! Am so glad that Splash did not do this race after all. Hope the boys are okay and can motor to Gisbourne. Link to post Share on other sites
