Fantastic racing today No predictions worth anything Auckland's washing machine and wind shifts testing everything

the cheap 12mtr class was a short aberration in the looooong history of the AC if it survives into the future there may be more cheap classes but for the last 20? years have been loving the techno battle and all the "trickle-down" hahahahahahaha

nail-biter great racing! but deano's done like a dog's dinner

yes, congrats to the brits all that hard work of xmas/new year paid off and the cup race has become interesting again prada didn't look good rounding the city top mark and into the breeze at okahu bay twice they followed ben round into the breeze and appeared to fluff it the 3rd time, with the race lost, then went round the east mark and away from the gusts...

course C, the best course for land based spectators so plan for north head, go early and be prepared to walk far https://www.americascup.com/en/news/907_PRADA-CUP-DAY-1-RR1-RACE-INFO

guess it's easier for them but it's not easier for spectators to plan their day when the course announcement keeps getting pushed back First race will start at 3:00 PM NZT weather permitting, exact time of the start and selected race course will be published on americascup.com and social media channels at 11:00 AM NZT. pretty sure the teams were told yesterday morning https://www.americascup.com/en/news/903_PRADA-CUP-DAY-1-RR1

thanks, went down to the viaduct and got a bit of information from the yellow clad guides as above plus ineos seem the only team interested in a semi-organised 1 on 1 race with etnz prada and america magic preferred not to go up against etnz today

the usual websites currently don't seem to have anything up about today and tomorrow's races the teams will already know wonder when we will?

i guess that's the steel alloy foils humming at much the same frequency that steel alloy turbine blades hum

what are you trying to cut through and how thick? the air tools spin very fast but you often can't use the speed in deep frp as the resin melts most electric drills are variable speed now, you'll know when the little gearbox in the right angle is unhappy then you back off on the drill trigger a bit

looks like more practice races monday, tuesday...but not much information on when and where yet A compromise has clearly been reached and the Herald understands all four teams will have practice races on Monday and Tuesday before the challengers' boats are officially measured on Wednesday ahead of the Prada Cup opening round robin starting on Friday.

A - it'll be ready hard to cut the shaft off B - it may be very difficult to seat in a small 3 jaw chuck, you "might" get a better grasp with a larger chuck and/or wrapping the end with some shim stock .... however if you're drilling to drill in a confined space this is what you really need, an air-drill with right-angle head and compressor?

a bit like the stereo speakers of old most people simply buy the biggest 'number' ....so check it's actually continuous in this case aussie jaycar list this 1500w inverter as continuous https://www.jaycar.com.au/1500-watt-12vdc-to-230vac-pure-sine-wave-inverter/p/MI5708 note the comment on the input, which can be seen between the fans at back " Input connection: Heavy duty screw terminals" unfortunately jaycar nz's 1500watt inverter doesn't list input, even in the manual, or have any pics of the back, but you can assume screw terminals https://www.jayca

it's off! Lewis said he did not want to speculate on the cause of the crash, but acknowledged there had been a "clear navigational error". https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/successful-salvage-operation-for-luxury-cruiser-that-ran-aground-in-aucklands-hauraki-gulf/QB75T5GFEU6MDIM7BP25ESCBSQ/

presumably "the landing" at okahu bay , auckland could also haul it with their travel lift http://www.thelanding.org.nz/ http://www.thelanding.org.nz/services.html

been there a couple of days now navigation error i guess... https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/boat-runs-aground-off-aucklands-eastern-suburbs-two-rescued/EBF3FLYQJEBVJFHTTCJ4V5GEVY/

becoming famous the 2 Italian take

sadly it doesn't look like i'll be an early adopter of this technology but do seem to have most of the bits for 1 of these....

that was very informative! have been aware of them and am possibly interested in the mooted non-battery version but hadn't realised they had moved beyond vaporware

the race director Iain Murray might be able to offer them a reprieve - with additional practice days if the harbourmaster and all teams can agree. "I would like to be out there on some more days, clearly there aren't any days on the schedule at the moment," Murray said "The days that I had pencilled into my diary were the 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th [of January] as maybe days that it might be possible but there is a lot of agreement needed on that." ... Racing takes a break until 15 January when the three challengers will be back competing for the Prada Cup to w

yes, it's hard to go back to tv after you've gotten used to; watching when you want, hopping around the video, skipping the bits YOU think are boring and replaying the ones YOU think are interesting https://www.windy.com/?-36.817,174.938,11 Race course A will be used for racing today 20 December 2020 and weather forecast are for North-Northeast breezes and light winds between 7 to 12 knots with low tide at 18:45.

today's schedule Christmas Cup schedule Sunday (course A) 3.12pm: Team New Zealand v Ineos Team UK 3.50pm: American Magic v Luna Rossa 4.40pm: Race for 3rd (Loser Semifinal 1 v Loser Semifinal 2) 5.20pm: Final (Winner Semifinal 1 v Winner Semifinal 2) for days 1 + 2 found sitting on NH with good binos great, along with AM 1334 radio for commentary then following up with youtube in the evening may do the same today if it's C and better wind than yesterday otherwise it might be time to wander around the viaduct

back with C today There was speculation earlier this morning that the light conditions would force organisers to shift racing to the less fan-friendly course A, however the same course as the opening two days of racing, C, will again be employed today.
