Are the G3 boats that much faster than the earlier boats? If so, why?

 

Such cool little boats, I want 2 to stash on the boat when cruising. 1 is no good, need to have a race going on.

I am just as quick as the G3s on the wind, but off the wind they are 20-30% faster as they can pop the bow and fly unlike mine. In saying that I paid less than half the price of a G3 and I bet several at the nationals with the previous owner did even better so it does come back to sailing skill. I agree that they are awesome little boats and the more you have the funier they are :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Also the G3's are great for cruising as they come apart (keel and rudder pop off within seconds) and they come in a great carry case to stash down one of the quarter berths!

 

Have not seen any G2's come up for sale recently. But keep a weather eye on trade me... :-)

Are there ones you can hire there..?

 

Potentially there could be some floating around, but im not 100% sure. The first time I sailed there was at least one extra boat so one could or several could be free.

What a perfect way to start the Thursday Night Wind Warrior Rum Racing Series! There were 8 boats, 8 races and plenty of laughing and heaps "I'm sorry's". Check out the results by following the link. http://rayc.co.nz/wind-warriors/

 

Hope to see more boats out there next time! (15th November from 6pm)

Thats a mighty small stewart 34! I heard some guys might be starting something up at Bayswater with a few odd ends. (To get out of the house and drink beer standing on a dock without much effort)

 

REMINDER ALL!!!! RACING THIS THURSDAY AT RAYC!!!

 

Great night sailing 2 weeks ago with 8 boats. I know we have a couple extra coming down this Thursday - would be good to get to 10+ boats.

 

See the flyer at the start of this thread. Also see http://rayc.co.nz/wind-warriors/ for more info.
