    The Fleet racing in the little boats is a bit more entertaining …

    They’re going to have to raise minimum wind speed…too many races ‘end’ when one falls of the foils. If they are not going fast enough to talk/ gybe why bother.

    Stumbled onto coverage this morning on TV3. Some good background info about boats n crew, authorised spying etc. The actual sailing/racing was sub par, win start win race… at least graphics used knots.
  10. Hi team, I have a recollection of a yacht being dismasted in a Round White Island race, probably in the late 1990’s. Does anyone remember this ? Keen to understand the circumstances, especially if the volcano was involved. Thanks

  14. Really interesting to have followed this thread as today I have a letter from my gas supply company , the meter on my household supply needs to be replaced. All good, but then they go on to say the ‘full installation “ needs to pass a compliance test after they replace the meter. If it fails the system will need to be repaired to compliance! At least I now understand the implications….
  15. AIS track is curious…
  16. Awesome effort… https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2024/04/sailing-australian-lisa-blair-smashes-solo-speed-record-from-sydney-to-auckland.html Now looking at setting Round NZ record.

    Run a tape measure over it….
  21. Just checking in on the current best practice for washboards . Currently have 2, looking to go to 3 as part of the process. Currently have ply, considering the acrylics for the new ones. What’s the good, bad an ugly out there ?
  22. Hi I need to adjust some rig tension. They are Graham screws and on my first attempt they felt very very tight.I was able to loosen for-stay, so the rig tension was relaxed. Do I just carry on with force to break the lock/binding or fill with WD40 for a couple of weeks an try again? Thanks for ideas.
