Guest Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 No sweat. Would be good to see at least the two of you, if not more Ravens out together. Are you both the same sized Ravens? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Good on ya for trying to revive some interest in the Class I would love to say go on the Raven owners association website but , you have to pay $45 to be able to post on the forum as its been closed to non "members" a good way to totally kill what was already a very dead Forum set up by narrow minded moderators.

That's a bit harsh Te Tahi but is rather stupid for Ravens outside of Auckland. Why they need subs I can only but wonder (affiliation fees for YNZ perhaps?). But to the topic. The following are the Ravens I've tracked down in our area so far: Bianco - Seaview Footprints - Seaview Rose - Seaview Quetzalli - Seaview Soraeko - Seaview Flemish Racer - Seaview - Need contact details Harvest - Evans Bay Shogun - Evans Bay Tracer - Clyde Quay Settimio - Waikawa - Need contact details If anyone can help with the details of those I still need contact details of any of the boats above would be much appreciated. Also if anyone spots a Raven not in the list please let me know. Thanks to all. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Love your work Grant. Let's try and get as many of those as possible out for a sail in the next CSSC event. It doesn't have to be formula one, but it is the bbq afterwards that matters... Link to post Share on other sites
grantmc 59 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Sounds like a great idea. So set a date and event: SOON. How's about a trianglur race between LBYC, PNYC, EBY&BC but at least one crew member must sign the register and drink a beer at each club house. Decide start/finish place. On any Sunday (or Saturday). Kids sport has pretty much finished till Cricket starts again. LBYC and Evans Bay have finished their Winter Series and there's nadda on for a month or so. Hey and add the CSSC logo to your signature. Fück I can see I might have to send you 50 bucks soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 First part done. Will speak to the organising committee tomorrow... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looking forward to seeing some photo,s of a few Southern Ravens having a good day out. Maybe I have been a bit harsh about The Raven owners website Forum ,just wish it was open too all Raven Owners not just the ones who pay to belong too it especially when you do,nt live in Auckland or belong to way too many clubs already and do,nt have the time too commit to another one. I suppose all those other Raven owners can exchange idea,s and arrange days out on here. Link to post Share on other sites
benamor 0 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 There's and R26 up at Mana as well, and one on the outer row at Chaffers (can't remember the names of either of them, unfortunately). Link to post Share on other sites
benamor 0 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 ... and I like the idea of a round-the-clubs race. Plenty of space in CQ for a Raven invasion; we could have a BBQ at the boatsheds after racing has concluded. Link to post Share on other sites
sow1ld 2 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The one at mana is called "kelly's eye" and there's sometimes a flush deck one called tracer Link to post Share on other sites

She is owned by Ben Amor, and he is in the CSSC organising committee... Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's on. Ben Amor has entered Tracer... although, possibly as part of the pre-match mind games, he's entered as a "Raven 16". More intruige than San Francisco! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Perhaps spurred on by this escalation, Blink has entered to be a part of it all... Link to post Share on other sites

SthnJeff 18 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi Grant and others I am looking to buy my first keeler and I am strongly leaning towards a Raven 26. (Refer my recent post on the subject in the Welly talk forum) I would be keen to talk the pros and console the Raven with any current owners with perhaps the chance crew on one. If anyone keen to have a bit of novice on board for a sail and a yarn, I would love the opportunity. Cheers Jeff Link to post Share on other sites
