Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Bring on leg 3!!!! 1700 Sunday That a Ross 40 couldn't sneak out from under a submarine which isn't that great on the wind shows how good that bloody Skinner is. Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron 74 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 SailorX you can solve your problem. Ring SSANZ and offer sponsorship money for the next event that would cover the cost of the coverage you want (and the staff necessary to keep it working). They would even put your name on it. I'm looking forward to some big sponsorship SailorX! I don't think any other organisation would be able to run the race and do what we have done on a budget of twice what we have. With a Sydney-Hobart type budget I'm imagining live footage from choppers, instantaneous trackers, live bands/concerts at stopovers, etc etc... BTW I checked half the fleets YB's and batteries are all in great shape, looks like they will easily last the entire race without being touched. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That's awesome, maybe you could stream live footage, galley cam, head cam, keel and rudder can, forward and aft facing cam and all the telemetry.... I think all the footage is fantastic! The crews and organisers are doing an awesome job, big ups to ssanz! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 just a thought, this sailor x guy smells like that other nobrot quamtem bounc, and with the change of helm at crew, who knows what trash has been overlooked Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 looks like dead maggot to napier, hope the canters and ross boats can hold off the caravans Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Interesting sentiment, I am generally pleased when a "caravan" does well. Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yes we are hoping for a better result this leg in our 35 year old wooden Caravan, time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 thinks this leg will favor the Elliott caravans. Would seem Greg has a $ each way in this race. but, hay, I could be wrong, Westie and BooBoo could have some fruit we haven't seen, orange perhaps Link to post Share on other sites

Fish 0 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 http://www.ssanz.co.nz/results.html?id=82 Provisional results for leg two show 4 boats with time penalties, including Blink, Bernice, Lazy Fairy 2 and Fiction. What's the deal? What's the infringement? How much was the penalty? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 *Boats with an asterix beside their name have had a time penalty added due to missed radio skeds Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 We missed our last sked on Berenice as we were entering the harbour and were in VHF contact with Port Nic yacht club apparently the committee want to be tough on this which is their call certainly costly for us after all that effort and very disappointing. Oh well leg 3 tomorrow, moving on. Link to post Share on other sites
