    Great to see the boat / crew profiles and read up on the fleet.

    Any idea when we will see the division splits?

    getting excited now!

    Division splits will be done after last phrf changes have been made. 
    Date for last changes is 7th February but these won’t come through until these are processed 

    But I’d be counting on being in Div 4 Shimmer

    top limit for D4 will be about .800ish

    If I was to do this as a delivery, I'd be working on 3-4 months. Its a long way, and there will be considerable wear/tear on the boat, motor, sails and all. This is the equivalent of about 10 years of local sailing. When you consider that, the ship is not that expensive (and lot more reliable and quicker). If not sailing yourself, a delivery skipper would likely charge about $50k for that voyage, + expenses and + Crew.

    If you are relocating, sell the boat here and buy another. Not really worth moving her. IMO 

    Plus boats are cheaper there so you could either make on the deal or upgrade

  3. 24 to 25 hours

    if you mean sailing then a whole lot more info required

    Option 1; Are you taking a 200nm offshore high latitude yachts with tonnes of fuel and happy to round the horn ?

    Option 2;  or are you going to stay in the tropics and average 4kts

     

    option 1 is 65 to 70 days non stop

    option 2 is a year or more

  5. Pretty close Mark

    Arbitare is from Mana

    Margaritaville yes Auckland

    Hans Up was Henrietta and is Pine harbour based now, was Coromandel 

    ‘Start Me Up is Westhaven based

    Sweatwaters is Auckland (I think)

    Most international fleet ever, two French flagged, three Australian flagged and seven Southerners one of which is technically English/American 

  6. In hand Ben as per design details, just waiting on someone with a day job to update things

    normal entries closed yesterday, late entries are $3k

    Miss Scarlet and Marshel Law have withdrawn.
    Mister Lucky (Sunfast 3600 from Brisbane) Kick, and Equilibrium have entered. Now at 38 plus interest from 3 others but going on previous form we will end up at 36ish

    I have just noticed a small fraying cover on the rope which looks to be more significant in the future so I was looking at replacing it before it all goes to custard at just the wrong moment

    Can you end for end it ?

    tail has probably done no work !

  8. I know a few that have been with him and know someone that was on the next trip, plus reading the comments about him, if you got good weather it was a great trip but if the weather was crap you either went or forfeited your money 

    Not a great sense of responsibility towards safety, all about the money.

    I passed him coming home from the Kings as he headed out on that trip, we were coming home because we knew the weather was about to pack up in a few days, all the other charter boats came back at least a day ahead of him or the commercial boats stayed out (cray boats)

    He got it wrong and people that trusted him died. Manslaughter plain and simple to me

  9. Good doco, watched it a few weeks back, as BP said mostly better sails, if the keel was that good everyone would have gone that way no.

    what the keel did was get it’s centre of gravity a lot lower, as in the bulbs we see now on racing yachts. The old 12 metre yachts had a very high CoG
