Zoe 8 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hi all, Race starts in 69 days. The race newsletter has just gone out and in particular includes details of the upcoming Race Prep session that's free for all definite or prospective entrants, and also of the new prize, donated by North Sails, for top keeler on PHRF, across all divisions. A great new feature of the race. Here is the link: http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=4b9 ... f098bb8&e=[uNIQID] I have to say the prospect of Team Australia and a VOR70 on the startline is incredibly exciting. Lots more info on Facebook if you are that way inclined. Cheers! Zoe Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Made me go check my mail Brand new prize for top PHRF boat The PIC Insurance Brokers Coastal Classic is thrilled to let you know that 2013 will see the introduction of a prize for the top boat on PHRF, from all keelboat racing divisions. The winner will receive a prize worth $1,000 from North Sails New Zealand. PHRF is the handicap system applied to all keelboat entrants in the race fleet (cruising entrants can be exempt, and multihulls utilise a separate system). There were 129 PHRF entrants last year. "It means that one keelboat - regardless of its size or maximum speed - can be celebrated, as the overall race winner on handicap," says race spokesperson Matt Flynn of the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club. "There will be a lot of prestige for the winner, and the prize from North Sails is an excellent one for any boat." Link to post Share on other sites

markm 30 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Think they mean you don't have to forward a copy of your cat 3 cert, just declare you have it. Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Markm is right. Newsletter #3 is online now... check out the info about race tracking for the whole fleet.

Battleship 100 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The website doesn't work for me when I click the payment button, does anyone know who to contact, I have tried the mobile with no answer and the ccinfo email address bounced back to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hi Willow, sorry to hear you are having issues. Very frustrating! If you go to the 'Contact Us' page on the website, there is an email address and phone number there. The email address is different from last year, the ccinfo@ one no longer works. Also, if you leave a message for Anthony, he will ring you back. He works full time, so may not be able to do it immediately but he is usually pretty prompt. If all else fails please email me zoe@wildemedia.co.nz and I will pass on your query. Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks Zoe have left a message. You may want to let your webmaster know the ccinfo email address is still list on the enter online section of the website. Link to post Share on other sites

Zoe 8 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks Willow! (and ScottiE.) While we are talking about the Coastal, I'd really like to hear about new boats, old boats, returning entrants, and any new or unusual stories that I can write up in the next few weeks. I like being able to tell stories that I haven't heard before. It's getting close now! Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Just had someone else contact me about a similar problem. Please let me know if anyone else is having trouble. I'll be on to it tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
muttley 0 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Win an Audi A-1! anyone worked out the odds on the double win needed there to win an Audi A-1? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Assume 300 entries then 300x50 or 1 in 15,000 Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 your uni degree finally comes good for ya eh! yup - at an indvidual level Dave's right. The entry level will probably be closer to 200 than to 300 though (around 110 at the moment). However remember that on the night its still 1/50 that the car will be claimed and that's a pretty damn good chance. But to be in to win you actually have to enter! Normal entries close next Friday so get in now to avoid the late fee. Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Bump - over 120 entries already! If you want a crack at the Audi you'll need to get your entry in! If anyone's having trouble with their entry just drop me a pm with your name, boat name and ph no. (or just hit the contact us button) and we'll get back to ya! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Brings it down to 1 in 6000 Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 ya still have it! Still 1 in 50 that it will go on the night. Got to be in to win though so don't much about Link to post Share on other sites
