Guest Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 As one great race draws to a close (for the multis that is!) another has its preparations well underway. In fact the first entries have already been received - congratulations to Kia Kaha for being the first boat to enter for this the 30th anniversary of New Zealand's great race. Watch the online entries roll in over the next few weeks HERE Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Coastal Classic breakfast at the Squadron - bring all the crew! Trying a slight variation this year. The Squadron will be putting on a full breakfast in the Ballroom on the morning of the race 7am - 9am. $20.00 for the full works. Bookings required although I'm sure they'll find you a place if you make a last minute decision. Phone RNZYS 360 6800 Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 The coastal entries are now flooding in - double figures hit earlier this week! Hearing the news, Race Director, Jon Vincent, was heard exclaiming "Auckland's gonna be a ghost town that weekend!" Get 'em in fellas - I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs wating to process them!

Murky 1 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 There used to be (maybe still is) a dinghy regatta across at Waitangi on the Saturday morning of Labour Weekend. Did the CC one year with a couple of dads who stepped off the boat at the finish, jumped on the ferry and headed off to begin a brand-new (scorching hot, as I remember it) day on the water with their kids. Stauch effort, I thought as I downed another rum and subsided into a pleasant coma. Remember Smithy, it is only the Marshall that needs to take part in the race, your presence is an optional extra.

Don''t encourage them Murky. Now there's a thought! Hey Squid! Wot we doin Labour Weekend? Smithy wants us to sail his boat for him again! It's fair to say that since you've owned the Marshall you've never been out on it when I have Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 There's no feeling like hanging up the big gear in a gusty SW with 150+ boats around you and thinking: "what the hell, it's not my boat." Oh sorry Smithy, does that count as encouraging them... Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Borrowed boats are like rental cars, they can go anywhere without fear of damage. On that basis - I'm in! Thx Smithy, your a legend. Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Would all the above posters care to contribute to the damage bill after the SSANZ 100?? Unfortuneately I cannot blame anyone but myself.. Don't ya hate that? Where's Jordan when you need him (as a whipping boy...) Actually We got off pretty lightly compared to High Voltage and others.. That's pretty tough right at the end... Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm flying across the ditch to do the race on Mr. Roosevelt again. It's the first major race since we dropped the rig in the RNI. It's great to see a very good fleet in Div 2 so it should be a blast. Superb to see Valium, Fineline and Truxton among the contenders. See you in Russell guys - we should have those rums we were supposed to have in Wellington. This year we're taking crew instead of sailing 2-up, so it will be relatively relaxing. In fact our wives are sailing among the crew. It's a great race and it should be a fun weekend to be in NZ. With he rig fixed the only risk now for us is that one of us picks up a groin injury battening up headsails. Link to post Share on other sites
