What about that really slow, stock std y11 with the tiny pintop main? Surely thats a div 4 boat?
New main looks smaller still, maybe it’s the offshore version

Probably Div 4

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 processedBut 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

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

Let’s hear from the editor, but believe it’s all in cahoots

Just catching up with this but don’t see why Northland Councils are so pissy about this
We cleared into Marsden Cove about a month ago and there’s fan worm on the pontoons there
The stable door is open, horse bolted and a spark from its shoe set the whole farmyard alight.

My understanding is there wasn’t enough interest from us lot, so Squadron are running a fun, open to all cheap race for all

Thanks guys plenty to think about there. Any truth to the rumor Kia Kaha will be a late entry?
Always lots of rumours add Awen and Rum Bucket to the list of rumours also
-
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

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

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 ?

Correct we don’t know what happened
But we do know for a fact that he did avoided meeting the required NZ safety requirements
-
Bit of a lesson for all there, he decided that Cat 1 was too onerous and register Offshore to avoid it.
Not saying it wouldn’t have still happened but at least he would have had a set of independent eyes look over everything.

FB group has a D35 in the bay of islands for $30k
That looks great buying, almost makes you think what’s wrong, or are they just realistic and not negotiable

I was 50nm south that night and we had over 50 and over 200mm of rain from Saturday afternoon until early hours Monday
‘Monday we headed further south in a good 3m swell some bigger

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

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
