  1. A conviction might slow down the extradition process... Perhaps it is best to put him on the next plane to NZ and let you sort it out

    LSD are writing that the "beach" cat had an unexpected swim

    Pole length?

    When racing the big coloured sail was more effective When returning after the race things needed to be simple due to the quantity of hangovers onboard
  6. Skinner knows what happens in upwind conditions

    Pole length?

    The pole on Fineline was longer than J, I guess out about 110%. To pole out the non overlapping headsail coming back from Coastal, we used the leeward stanchion base and a sail tie as the inboard end. It seemed to work.
  8. Are you ever happy about anything?
  9. Swing the lazy sheet a couple of times around the brace is usually enough.
  10. I think you forgot photographer extraordinaire! Great guy to have around.
  11. Did I miss a memo? Should I know who rehab was in a previous life?
  12. Is there anything in this post that is correct?
  13. Gretel?? Australia II won the cup in 1983 with its wing keel
  14. Anyone know the current status of NV? Did. The powered winches and new coach roof get added? Is it sailing?
  15. Are you being charged GST in Australia on the purchase? If so I think you might be able to claim it back when the boat is exported. I know this is possible for new items, not so sure for second hand items.
  16. As a crew new to Auckland I enquired if a contribution was required each week... Money was refused Rums were acceptable though
  17. Foxtel announced today the races would be shown in Australia, perhaps Sky will show it in the East Island.
  18. Luckily for me some boats are posting photos to FB during the race so I can follow the adventures from my current land locked location. I had forgotten about now casting.
  19. I was looking at various posts from today. In one photo it showed slow going, in the other there was a reef in so a suggestion of a change in breeze. Such information in the hands of someone smarter than I, might be useful.
  20. Is Facebook counted as outside assistance?
  21. I was thinking more along the customs flights looking for illegals/smugglers. Is there not some sort of border security monitoring NZ waters?
