floatsome 0 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 whats the story with Revs? Are all her front sacks broken or are there other damage issues? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Truxton looks good, has anyone figured out if they'll get all the boats in ahead of the next blow? Link to post Share on other sites
JK 28 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Looking at the forecast through to Sunday afternoon it would appear that they would not get anything too severe, but for the back half they will have around 20kn+ on the nose whereas the frontrunners are going get a reach in.

Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well, I think they deserve a pleasant sail for a change! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 only 68nm to go for truxton.....they'lll be there in the morning..!! a quick leg for the 2 front runnners... think the tail 4 boats might take a while longer...another 2 days? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just got up and had a peek at the tracker - Awesome work by Truxton, they shoul dbe there soon. Sorry for the backmarkers who'll be left beating the last bit into 20 odd kn. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Those buggers on Truxton deserve a medal. The other poor bastards deserve knighthoods. Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 looks like truxton is in and sureal not far behind. Go skinner, he is having a blinder of a race so far. Revs have really dropped of the pace in this leg. Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I know what they must be feeling at the mo, banging into that darn N'easter and feeling like you are getting nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 17 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Looks like Vingilot has finished on the tracker and Danaide not too far off. The race management team may not get much sleep tonight if the next few make it through the last miles in the next few hours. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Tracker shows Sunstone almost there in very little wind - anyone confirm? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'll answer that RNZ Race News Vingalot finished at 20:15. Danaide finished at 22:25. Pelagian finished at 05:30 Sunstone finished at 08:22. All boats in Napier Thanks SSANZ. Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 17 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 All boats in Napier safe and sound. Let the wine tour begin! Shame I can't be there - damn work for getting in the way ... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Good to see everyone in before the skys open again. Hopefully that leg was drama free for all. Mind you after the last one that wouldn't be that hard I'd expect. Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Whens the restart likely to be? I hope they give them a break and wait the worst of this bit of weather out. Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 My extremely unnoficial (read don't trust it) notes have the points : tot l1 l2 l3 boat 7 1 5 1 Truxton 8 3 3 2 Surreal 12 6 2 4 Vingilot 13 2 8 3 Coppelia 15 4 6 5 Danaide 17 9 1 7 Sunstone 18 5 7 6 Pelagian 19 7 4 8 Revs Suspect Truxton and Surreal in particular will have just a slight interest in the weather later this week.

Farrari 4 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Whens the restart likely to be? I hope they give them a break and wait the worst of this bit of weather out. The SSANZ home page is showing a restart at 0800 Wednesday. I hope this next weather pattern misses them. It is currently forecast to track southwest so they might be in luck.

floatsome 0 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Geez, just spotted this too, boy these guys are doing it hard. Fingers crossed for them, sure will be glad to get home. Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 76 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Team Surreal are having a most fantastic time. In fact we are quite sad that the end is now in sight.... Jeez we might even have to go back to work or something ! It has been suggested that all the crews (except Surreal's) will need councilling for post traumatic stress. Team Surreal's crew only need to be booked in to a rehab centre to dry out! Anyway, what challenge can we do next? Need to find something to fill the gap... Link to post Share on other sites
