Scotty3934 5 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Cant remember what time it was but something pretty big and impressive was spotted being hauled down Great South Road today. Dont know what it was but it was big and impressive (only caught a glimps and by the time I got up to have another look it was gone. Any one else see it? Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Guess it was the same one I saw going into town on new north road, must have been around 10 ish. Boat was called Blink Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If it was Blink its a Shaw 40 built in Keri Keri by Partridge Yachts and is heading to Wellywood to be launched by a kiwi couple that had/have a Young 11 Will be doing the RNI But then again could be something else altogether Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 That sounds about the right size, definatly said blink on the side Route makes sense as well, they were oversize with a pilot so wouldn't be allowed on the SH motorway network through central akl Link to post Share on other sites

B00B00 310 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I had a great weekend in Wellington. The boat is seriously fast and good fun to sail on. We were sitting on 18-22kts for the last part of the run. Had fun in the club on saturday night too, I think everyone was tying to stitch me up but I survived.... Link to post Share on other sites
