ex Elly 279 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 First race tomorrow. Early start this year. Usually starts in July? New courses look interesting, include some buoys to locate instead of islands or rocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 361 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 What a beautiful days yachting. Was a bit painfull near gannet rock and back up tamaki strait for us but we came away with the win in Motorboat III. Our son Lukes first race in the mix t motions and he did ok. Hes only just turned 16 and had another young mate of his on board so I was happy they even got around the track and home up the river afterwards... And my wife Sara was on the General Lee so our family was well represented out there yesterday.. 6 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 279 Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 They had it too good last time. Now they have the proper SSANZ weather! 😉 A cold blast, squalls, and gale warning. Looks like a lot of boats missing today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve 62 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Bit of drama out there, I see T Rex beating home under storm jib after clearly having a few issues in the Tamaki Strait. CG was standing by but I think they've got it under control now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve 62 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 A few others didn't quite make it.. Lots of others didn't start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 361 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Yup it was pretty fresh out there. With Damon overseas and the extreme forecast I decided against taking the Motorboat III out without him. Instead I jumped on our kids little boat the edlin 8 Mix T Motions for the race with my 16year old son. Was a pretty full on day but lots of fun and we took the win. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 960 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Well done to all the competitors, pretty tough course for the small boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I feel cold just watching it. Definitely some interesting sail plans going on there. And as you say clockwork might have been looking for a bit less right about then!

ex Elly 279 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Some strange timings this year. It is fully 6 weeks between race 2 and race 3! Was always 4 weeks between every race in the past? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
