all fired up 6 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It was a good testing course too. Start, Bayswater, Orakei, North Head, Resolution, Torpedo,ODM,Bayswater, Finish at ODM. Wind angle was such that with a bit of imagination you could fly every xtra you had on the boat. The forward crew worked very hard with the ups and downs and repacks. Sometimes I think we have too much choice! Everyone I have talked with says that the Ponsonby courses are well thought out and produce interesting racing. The rainy weather must have persuaded a few of the 930 fleet to stay on the dock, with 8 starters we were missing 4 or 5 from previous races. a.f.u Link to post Share on other sites
Rhys 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Gotta agree with you AFU, this year's PCC courses are really well thought out. Keeps the whole crew involved throughout the race. Our bowman might disagree, but we stopped listening to him years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 She was on the Boat Haulage trailer this morning. Very grazed keel, bulb, starboard topside. Big puncture aft quarter, deck hull join split for about 1m. Stanchions still all there. Rig still up. No photos - too depressing. It will be interesting to hear the assessors opinion. - Alan R, keep an eye on this.... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 it's now at pier 21 had a look this morning ( not inside ) looks repairable, but imho it will be an insurance aucton, no photo's for the same reasons as jono. this could be perfect for the alan r project condolences to the owner and thankfully all walked away safely Link to post Share on other sites

Ptown 14 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Whose got some results?? Link to post Share on other sites
NXRIDE 0 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 No Worries got line by 8min over Local Hero and the another min or so back to Ballistic and the Fast Company. Handicap also went to No Worries. That resulted in No Worries taking Line and Handicap for the series!! Pretty stoked Link to post Share on other sites
Ptown 14 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well done No Worries. What happened Saturday?? Link to post Share on other sites
NXRIDE 0 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Not entirely sure, (I'm just the bowman in the crewed races) But Ian told me that they shredded the fractional genniker, and that was the ideal sail to use. I think they were both just a bit tired and that was the last straw, so they pulled the pin and motored home. Link to post Share on other sites
all fired up 6 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 ROSS 930 WINTER SERIES 2013 Checked entries at the Pons this afternoon. 5 Entered so far, No Wurries, Local Hero, Wild Oats, Ballistic, Pepe. The first race is next Sunday 19 May so looking forward to watching the rest of the entries roll in. The lady at Pons told me they want at least 6 entries to give us our own start. So come on the rest of you put your entries in. a.f.u Link to post Share on other sites
Ptown 14 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 The Entertainer is in and now I think we have 7 or 8. If everyone turns up we could have 14 or 15. But Hotdogger will not make this weekend by the sounds of it. Get those entries in boys, this has been the best supported event in the calendar recently Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Expected Entries No Worries Local Hero Wild Oats Ballistic Pepe Start Me Up Arch Rival Fast Company The Entertainer Scarlett Fever Mean Streak Possibles Drop Dead Fred? (seen out rum racing Friday) Splash Palace? (seen as sole 930 entry in squaddy winter series Saturday) Hotdogger? (see above) Grunt Machine? (done a few rum races this year) Elbow Room?

Guest Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Elbow will be a long shot I'd think. An official offer has been made on Bondi, which is subject to survey I believe. The offerer is a good lad so I'd expect that should it all go thru we'll see her back in the Waitamata fleet. Link to post Share on other sites
