Guest Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Does anyone know anyone where i can find out more.? My understanding is they will arrive in BoI, then regroup at Kawau and time the trip to Auckland with the outgoing Coastal Classic fleet (should be a good sight for the competitors). Then a parade around Ak harbour Labour day, but that's about all i have at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites

John B 106 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 October the 25th? Maybe they could be rounding marks for the 200 odd boats going the other way. Could be great. could be a total cluster.... Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Don't worry guys they won't be clearing through Auckland until about 1pm, well after the Coastal competitors depart at 10am. But I am sure the race fleet will be spotting tall ships, yet another reason to take part this year! Link to post Share on other sites
