Elevation will be racing fully crewed.
Is there any of the single handed racers wanting a car taken back to Auckland that the delivery crew are bringing up.
If so please ring me.

Elevation has entered.

The Gulf Classic is on the 12 March 2017.
Unfortunately the numbers entered have been dwindling over the years.
Be great to see a good sized fleet in March.
Elevation will try to get there.
There is another mid length race for Trailer Yachts on Lake Rotoiti on the 26 November 2016.
The Rotoiti Classic caters for all with a 50 mile course for A Div, 34 Miles for B Div and 17 Miles for C Div.
There is also a 50 mile Div for multi's.
More info on the BOPTYS website

I have a Melges 24 prod in Elevation. The boat builder that fitted made or got made up the bearings seals etc. It would probably be cheaper though to import those parts. Try the Melges website. You will love the prod running gennys and zeros off it.

On this Saturday not to late to enter. 20 knot westerly in morning turning North Westerly in avo. It never rains in Vegas

Tracker not as good as previously or the European trackers.
race data is so confusing.
Does not give sea conditions, cannot tell the speed wind direction relates to wind or vessel
Disappointing and is rubbish.
At present leading boat is 78th position on handicap. I assume which I should not but the DIV has only 5 vessels but handicap placing 78th but does state which handicap system when reading the results.
News reports do not mention, who is, each division leading on handicap.
Mixed yacht racing is all about placing's on handicaps.
Hard to compare design against design each class.
Rubbish race.

How many Coastals have you done Rehabilitated
I love doing the race.
Unfortunately the boat I was to do it on withdrew from the race
-
Rehabilitated if you don't like the Tracker or Race why are you bothering looking at it.
I think the tracker is great we all know it's blowing NW and probably up to 20 knots by now and will bend round to a Northerly.
You can work out the boats that are doing well on handicap in each division.
It's not going to give an accurate result as not all the boats trackers are working.
They are only on board cell phones.
If you really want handicap results why don't you work them out for us & post them on here for us at each call in point.
The organisers of the race are all volunteers give them a break and most of them are probably racing.
To the NZMYC thanks for the great coverage

The start for the coastal has always been in divisions. The only difference was the first start of the big mono's and multi's went first at 10am.
Great coverage of the start with the live streaming.
Nothing on TV1 midday news there usually is but Martin Tasker is at the Rugby World Cup.
All the leading boats look like they have been knocked at the Northern end of Kawau wind gone more northerly.
Vodafone has made a number of tacks now on starboard just south of Mangawai

Should be a nice reach from the Start Line to North Head. Glad I'll be at work

Elevation has entered.
Zpett I have been a member of BOPTYS for about 16 years don't know anything about red rooster flags.
Will ask some of the "real old" members tomorrow night we have a lake race.
Be great if you are able to come and compete
