Guest Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Definitely lots to play with at the back end, you forgot to mention the vang and outhaul are at the helmsman's feet too. Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yup. Too busy by far.. The only bonus is that it isn't so wet back there. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yup. Too busy by far.. The only bonus is that it isn't so wet back there. Unless it's raining and then the bowman buggers off downstairs until it fines up Link to post Share on other sites

markm 30 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 If you're lucky, the more experienced among us know to lock away the booze in case it rains and the bow department decides it's time for a 16hr smoko below Link to post Share on other sites

Changed 10 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Entries seem a bit slow so. Only 35 to date. Who's starting but hasn't entered yet? Going on previous years there should be another 60 or so boats? Must be hard for the organisers when we all leave it until the last minute. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I note...not a single 727?.....whats up there guys? Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Good things take time richard. We reckon there will be at least 4 maybe 5 SR's for simrad, but we are all too busy doing them up to get entries in i would guess... Link to post Share on other sites
Duty Free 2 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You can see the 1020's are quick off the mark !!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Changed 10 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Gotta make sure that the 'do-up' doesn't eat-up the entry fee though. I swore I would never buy another 'do-up' but even when everything is done there is more to do. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It is never "done". Link to post Share on other sites
Richard2249 5 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 There are a few more Trackers which I know will be lining up. Entries do seem a bit slow, but plenty of time til they close. Let's just hope for better conditions this year! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Better conditions aren't really needed more than spreading the conditions evenly over all the races would be. Maybe it was a cost cutting exercise by combining all the wind in to R3 only But that was a bloody good fun race. I wouldn't mind another like that Link to post Share on other sites
Richard2249 5 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, it was quite something that last race. The best kite ride I've had with the boat so far, even if it didn't last very long. But the bash home was pretty average! Link to post Share on other sites
col j 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 should be a few 727s lining up. im on the quarter pint. think over draft is doing it. mumbo has new owners so not sure. edwin i think is finding out if he can get the time off from the youth scheme. quick nik said he was keen. 3 probable that i know of and i know of 2 young 11s and a stewart yet to enter Link to post Share on other sites
TimW 1 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Have had a terrible run in previous Simrads but just couldn't be looking forward to this one any more. At this stage we are the only Multihull, which suits me just fine, as I would really like to Win something for a change. And I'm definitely hoping this year that the fastest elapsed time is not going to another Pig Rooting Monoslug ! Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm keen, the first simrad is what I am hoping to be back in thw ater for. but I am not confident, so will be entering just before cutoff day (if the boat is ready) Link to post Share on other sites
