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

Personally I don't care if the 1020's get their own scoring or not.... BUT I hope we stay within the division for more competitive boat on boat racing with some other designs
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

Should Farr 1020's have their own division?
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

Do I really want to deal with that much rain. Ketchikan is as bad as our west coast.
Yes you do, we all want to read about how great it was, from our nice dry warm boats

It would be better to encourage people attend a boating education course
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

Yes, seems unfortunate to me how close some people think getting to a ship - which is the stand on vessel inside harbour limits - is OK. If, as in this case, you hear 5 short blasts - that is the WTF are you doing signal. If you hear it directed at you, you have f%^$ed up! Keep out of the shipping channels when you can, and cross as fast as you can, at 90deg if possible.
Within a mile of the bow is too close!
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 strapped to the stern rail and the associated gear in a locker below. They would connect it all before entering the anchorage, then stream the stern anchor out the full length of the rode, then drop bow anchor as per normal. Then take up on stern until boat’s sitting as required. ( you’d get shot if you did this in the gulf here )
We sailed home from Europe with a Delta that we didn’t like much and a smaller fortress as second, I’ve now got a 25kg Excel that I love and will take the Delta as spare now I’ve cleaned the rust off and two pot epoxy painted it so it won’t rust again, plus two boat lengths of spare chain on our next offshore. All this I’ll stow deep in the forward crew cabin (think storage shed) as a replacement for the main anchor, however I’ll also take the fortress to use as a stern anchor if required (this can also be useful if your in a narrow channel with no wind and a moderate tide, always set main anchor to strongest tide and lighter one to the lesser tidal flow.

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
Hello fellow Hauraki Gulf Fans,
This is just a brief heads-up about an upcoming meeting you may be interested in attending. On Tuesday 24th May, Simon Watts, National MP for North Shore, is hosting a public meeting about the Hauraki Gulf. At this meeting you will hear from the following speakers:
Alex Rogers – the Executive Officer of the Hauraki Gulf Forum. Alex is the author of the report presented to the Hauraki Gulf Forum on 28 February, setting out a recommended advocacy position for updating and strengthening the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act 2000. This included the recommendation to establish a Treaty partnership model with equal membership between iwi representatives and representatives of central/local government.
Dr Andrew Jeffs – Professor in Marine Science at the University of Auckland, whose research interests include aquaculture, restoring mussel populations, lobster biology, and the biological role of underwater sound.
Moana Tamaariki-Pohe, MNZM – former Deputy Chairperson of the Hauraki Gulf Forum, now representing Te Puni Kōkiri – the Ministry for Māori Development.
Dr Peter Longdill – Sanford’s sustainability manager. Sanford is one of the largest commercial fishers in the Hauraki Gulf.
Sam Woolford – spokesperson of LegaSea, an organisation “dedicated to restoring the abundance, biodiversity and health of New Zealand's marine environment”. LegaSea supports the establishment of co-governance structures in the Hauraki Gulf.
More details of the event, Revitalising the Hauraki Gulf, can be found here.

Oh well! The only NZ boat I know of with that name is a glass T 34 and I got so excited when I saw the entry how cool would it be to match race the lap? Don’t suppose Sunlight could be persuaded Old Dog?
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

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
