Iolanthe 11 at 1030

Just hoisted the staysail and the breeze has come in. Clearing Slipper Is atlast! Great hot cross buns though......

 

 

Begorrah at 1040

 

We have a 10kn NE. Racing along at 5.5 to 7kn. Only 8 hrs to the finish line. I don't need reminding why I do this but I am sure my wife will - Steve.

Ioanthe II- thrilling run down to the finish. our stay sail/ genoa combo more effective than the kites other people are struggling with. Hysteria now well behind us.

 

Whatever- finished... very close to twoother Tauranga boats. All three finished within four minutes of each other. Great racing.

A great race and a great result for the little 727. At day break (Friday) we still had 17 yachts insight around us. By the finish we still has 2 behind us.

 

Crac-A-Jac on the mooring at Matiatia - enjoying a settling rum at home with the Rum God. Thanks to all those who helped make this race one of the best. Full report a bit later and another trophy for the cabinet :clap:

Is anybody able to shed some more light on the results? We turned around at the finish to use this as a mile builder and so have no idea how we have done. Pretty keen to hear how we went in the two handed div, although I suspect the Cool Change lads might have gotten their mits on the trophy again...

 

Still working on the report, although it was a great race with lots of passing lanes to think about. Amazing trip home too, slightly cracked sheets in 15kn to the Mercs, with a mast head runner on in 10-15 from Colville to Westhaven.

CrackaJack won the 2 handed division and would have won phrf overall if they had entered it.

Frenzy won A keeler and pterodactyl won B keeler Fully charged i think won the multi division would be nice to see the entire results up for us too.
