Guest Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 better looking spread of boats now Looks like it could be another hell yeah ride to cuvier. Had a few good rides to that island now. Shame about having to turn the corner. at a quick glance it looks like one of the longer legs of the race. is it friday yet. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Oracle is doing the NOT WHITE ISLAND RACE that left today and they called at 12:30 saying after a conservative start they have the small kite up with about 1 1/2 hours to Channel Island, not sure how they are going to perform upwind as one of the mainsail battens is now at the bottom of Westhaven marina.

Bogan 8 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I watched the start and first 20 minutes or so. Looked like fun. Overload started conservatively, took a short leg out toward Rangi channel, gybed, launched one of the largest gennys in the fleet and then took off. They proceeded to overtake the whole field (at least that's what it looked like to me) by about Brown's Island. They may in fact have still been behind Ricki and the rather large luxury looking thing. Truxton also took a while to get going, with a much more conservative choice of extra, but was starting to make up ground when I left and looked set to be fourth through Motuihe. In the same period Pork Chop had already had a couple of moments, but was going well. Link to post Share on other sites

El Toro 97 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yep one of my crew disovered the difference between the halyard and the downhaul not long after the start.. Good tough slogfest of a race. Was pleasing to round Poor Knights within 100m of two other boats..pity we couldnt hold onto them past Omaha. Good work skinner and thank your crew for keeping it so close! Link to post Share on other sites
