Guest Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 are you expecting any off shore entries We've had them in the past, in fact if my poor memory serves it was won once by a cruiser from one of the Scandinavian countries.

Ptown 14 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I had a barry crocker after this last year and am nervous about a repeat performance but the crew are already talking it up... Link to post Share on other sites

RushMan 31 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 are you expecting any off shore entries We've had them in the past, in fact if my poor memory serves it was won once by a cruiser from one of the Scandinavian countries. Libertas won two years ago with multiple nationalities on board. Link to post Share on other sites

all fired up 6 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Fri 20th sounds OK ….BUT i think Squad and Pons rum races also running those days. What are we gonna do? Have you talked to either of them about an amalgamation? Is the eoyrr after math still at Richmond or on Pier G as an alternative? Will Steven C bring his really really big esky on wheels? Will MarkM set up the mark Foy or do we just go round and hope for the best? Will we still sail under the bridge? Always wondered what it would be like to have a tourist impale itself on my mast. How many rums before you cannot stand up on a S U P? So many questions…so few answers! a.f.u Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Will Steven C bring his really really big esky on wheels? a.f.u The question is not if I am bringing out the chilli bin...but if the contents of the chilli bin will be consumed before I get home the next morning. I got home at 4am last time and seeing that this time the next day is Saturday I wonder if I will see a sunrise? Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 399 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Er in 2012 A couple of us did see the sun come up still on the marina, but struggled to work and did a full day Link to post Share on other sites

So many questions…so few answers! a.f.u I think only Squaddie and it shou,ld be possible to do both as they start really early After match function at Richmond Mark is doing Mark Foy starts I hope the course goes back under the bridge - that was fun. Huge thanks to NZRigging for picking up the sponsorship and to NZSailing for the SUP. I really must get around to writing an announcement, at least the RE is starting to slow down.

Guest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 ah yeah, that was a long day at work..... That was a good night I might have break out my bottle of rum out eraler this time around. Link to post Share on other sites
Dambo 44 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Still very keen on entering but 80+ boats on the start-line scares an amateur like me... Link to post Share on other sites
Terry B 71 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 yeah nah Dambo, this race is as serious as a comedy festival. There are boats out there determined to finish last! if yer nervous, just hang back (lots do), and start a cuppla minutes late. Plus if you start late you don't need to know the course, just follow the others The longer yer out on the water, the more fun you have Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 And it is a staggered start so seldom more than 1 or 3 boats starting at a time, but the finish can be hilarious with 10-15 arriving overlapped (that Mark fella does a really good job). Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Here's the prize, thanks to NZSailing.net http://www.nzsailing.net/?function=view ... _id=379504 I have got everything ready, just need to check with Mummyship that the sign up page is ready and then we'll go live Link to post Share on other sites
