Guest Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Great idea. Blackfun is being setup for IRC and is planning on also going to Europe to win the 1/4 ton cup it should have 30 years ago! so will be playing by the rules as they are now what is class racing but done on IRC handicaps so do you have to have a old yacht that has been rated 1/4 ton and set up that way now, or could you build a new yacht to the 1/4 ton rating rule and race under IRC ?

Norwegian Blue 10 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I think it is only $20 for a trial cert? Cost more for a real one, whoever is the IRC measurer in Auckland will be able to tell you or you can always email the IRC office and ask if they have done one for a stock 727 From the YNZ website it looks like a trial cert is only for someone who holds an existing cert for 2010/2011 and costs $14.50 per metre. For a new application it is $33 per metre. Link to post Share on other sites
stevemcd 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Round the Island race was a bit better, 3rd on line for the 1/4's and 10th on handicap, results here: http://bit.ly/asHsjG they had an extra crew member and the boat went went a bit better for having more weight!

Murky 1 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 There is one up this way whose owner is considering his options - think it was briefly listed on TM recently and then withdrawn - keep an eye out if you are interested. Clearly I missed a chapter in the story of Tweety Bird - did a round Waiheke on her in the 80s - what happened there? Link to post Share on other sites
wal 27 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Was it not taken out by a big launch while on it's mooring? Memory brings back pictures of whacking great big prop marks down the side of it? Was that TW or summat else? Link to post Share on other sites
