Decision just been made, it’s an open division so won’t be split, if you want to change let us know as per above Next year we may have under 12.5m short course and over 11.5m medium course as this seems clearly to be what’s wanted, but it’s too late to change now that people have entered. Being over popular is a problem that we just need to suffer I guess

We are having a meeting tonight so will identify these issues then contact entries over the next few days Plus if you think your in the wrong division or just want to change for any reason, contact Neil or email racing@ssanz.co.nz The system is automated and generates your entry on the data you fill in, we can and do edit all entries as required, however it’s easier to do this once we get most entered

Good question for the briefing Course Sheets will be up soon if not already but here’s a sneak peak

All good, Piedy’s want their own division, Y88’s are still getting organised If any other group want to get together we can do similar As Cam said, best race with others for the competition, but no drama to score any class or group over the series if there’s interest

Seven in same division and they can ask for their own scoring within that Div or their own stand alone one

There will be so shuffling of the pack yet due to unbalanced numbers but 90 at this point is showing there will be another great fleet Entries close in under a week now

Anyone know if it’s sold and gone or just changed hands ? I was coming out there in August

Something even better is in the pipeline, watch this space

Shortly

Yes you do, we all want to read about how great it was, from our nice dry warm boats

Yes but carrots only work if there are sticks And $200 is not a stick to any boat owner now

Maximum fine should be 200 boat dollars

This is an Auckland issue, every other ports I’ve sailed or run races out of, if you get 5 blasts you also get a fine from the harbour master

If all racing had to be in H28s then everyone would comply all the time 😜

All of the above, we found lots of European boats use a stern anchor, we thought so what ? The “so what” is they don’t swing and you do, lots of the best anchorages inside islands with high mountains (places like Marquises) you get a sea breeze during the day then it reversed at night which was completely independent of the trades. Not a worry if everyone is on one anchor but a real pain if most are on two Spare anchor and rode don’t need to be ready for instant deployment, the anchor, chain and rope can all be stowed separately. We saw lots of yachts with their spare anchor stra

You win the prize

I heard that rumour too, just waiting online entry

Team La Rambla

Asia will definitely be cheapest Cruise laminate that’s radial cut will last twice as long as cheap Dacron, not physically but hold its shape twice as long. All depends on are you looking for a 5 year solution and don’t sail upwind or a 10 year solution that will still point well it whole life. Dont be disappointed if you go cheap and it doesn’t last, but that’s what some people want, to me a heavy 40’er is probably over the limit for Dacron, but others will disagree

Just received this via email

Yes tracker, battle flag and clothing all included plus a little salt

Zest will be a good match for you to race, Craddock 36 sailed by an older couple that won overall in 2008 in a varnished S&S 39 There’s always lots of races within the race Poulpito is a Sydney 38 out of New Cal theres a Beneteau 36 still to come and a couple of entries that are place savers until they sort actual entry boats
