Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Sam - when I read Josh' post saying you were out this morning I found myself thinking smart move. Boats new, why break it for an ego trip. Tough call but well done. Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Our apologies for the delays in coverage on the race website. The website received an unprecendented amount of viewers, which caused it to crash. We moved it to a new server, but I was unable to update it until about 20 minutes ago. I am catching up now with what is what, and we are back in business, with the tracker, pics, and commentary. Report in! Email ccinfo@coastalclassic.co.nz or call/text me on 021 273 5070. Many thank!

offthebow 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 anyone know where V5 and kia kaha are? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 from zoe on the website. I wonder whats happened to Tim or hes just doing a sail change? David Saggs is sitting near Flat Rock. He says it is very windy and Georgia is screaming through Tiri under full main and number 2 Genoa. Rantan is equally awesome in her speed, followed by Wired under Gennaker. Steady, guys! A green cat (presumably Timberwolf) is currently bareheaded. "This is awesome - what a great ride! Hope these sailors had a hot breakfast because it is also a very wet ride!" he tells.
