ab1974 1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Might have spoken too soon. Models now looking like NW strengthening as the race goes on to 20 gusting 30. Now given this is a week out there is a pretty good chance this will change! Link to post Share on other sites

Now given this is a week out there is a pretty good chance this will change! Now just remember we are in NZ, The weather seems to change all the time.. I reckon if we ask for a 30kt northerly, We will get a 30kt southerly Link to post Share on other sites

ab1974 1 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Noticed your boat looks a little longer Quarter Pint - when did you stick that new thing on your bow? Link to post Share on other sites
col j 0 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 where have you been spying from? stuck it on today and it survived its first test. only taking the boats performance up to its handicap. and the other way to look at it is that we are now closer in overall length to infiltrator.
