NZL3551 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 @ 1400 - TVS approx 2nm from Cape Brett Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 More from Zoe @ 1:45 The hotted up Ross 930 Drop Dead Fred is blasting past Leigh. They say the wind is increasing and is now 15-20 on the beam. Rivals Pepe and No Worries are out to sea a little, and they have Valium and Outrageous Fortune for company, although those boats have dropped behind now. It's getting pretty tight and the fleet is dropping kites and sailing under headsails. A few minutes later, No Worries report in that DDF just crossed in front of them. "It's all on!"

Guest Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Unnamed txter @ 1400 Past Passage Rock (FLat Rock?) behind Kawau, just dropped kite , doing 7-10 kn reaching, blowing 15-20, almost beer o'clock Sounds like they have the attitude! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 1:45 Again from Zoe Bullrush have also put in their excuses, having to stop to trawl for scallops near Gulf Harbour, and send a swimmer out to retrieve the gennaker remains from the sail drive. But it only cost them ten minutes. Good going! See you in Russell! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Zoe: It was heard back at 11am that most of the 50 footers were all in a nice processional line, leaving Kawau island in their wake. Report from onboard Cookson 50 Akatea suggested that a peel to the code zero was in order as the wind swung further to the left. Formula One, a closeby competitor looked to have made the same change.
