  1. More info released on the race website. Crash gybe surging down a wave, mainsheet system knocked him off the boat to the extent the crew believe he was unconscious before he hit the water. Immediately deployed a janbouy et al - couldn't locate anything in return and search. Very sad - RIP
  2. people said similar things at the time of the Sea Gypsey accident
  3. more here - not good http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12015540

    Tee bone

    Anybody else see Eliphunk get tee boned in yesterday's rum race? What a shocker!
  5. Schoinning designed a very similar power cat to the Hill one above. That'll be me when I can't hoist the main anymore (can't fully hoist at the moment but that's another issue!). Though that little Logan looks very pretty
  6. the objection will be to the old, now superceded option, or one of them anyway. Everyone's just tryign to stay one step ahead!
  7. Cancel all the previous debate - TNZ has "reluctantly agreed" to yet another alternative revised revisited modified and updated option! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12012416
  8. Oooohh! My sh*t’s definitely not worthy!
  9. ha - never looked at those. Could be a good oportunity to run a wager!
  10. media has picked it up. All models still show it going well east.
  11. that's why I'm still saving!
  12. I’m saving for a top down furling genne - no question!
  13. glad to see it went for a little more than his original thinking of a buy now price.

    Yup - meanwhile Brunnel is on a real stomp - pulling back a full 10nm every hour for last 3-4 hours. The look like they'll carry breeze for a good few hours yet. They may not catch up but it'll be close. Anyones leg at this point.
  16. The open speed extends another half mile further east of me (Ballistic). It's actually the stbd pile further along. Trust me I know - given up trying to solder on board! http://temp.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/licencesregulations/maritimeregulations/Documents/aucklandharbourrestrictedareas.pdf
