Kawau Race week is looking to join in with Squaddie night race, that is being worked on now. But there will be a band!
Was postponed due to the extreme winds on Saturday night blowing straight into Bon Accord

Can anchor on the edges of Tryphena, just not in the middle

This is also partly why the Kawau Race Week has been formed... the idea being boats can get back in time to race. Keep it all closer to Auckland.
Alot has been said about BOI Race Week and the clash, but the reality is, BOI basically killed off the Anniversary Day race... so there is now an attempt to restore that.

Extortionate berth fees and insurance are huge factors.... that and ATs gifted ability to make it almost impossible to cross town to get to Westhaven doesnt help either

I was there on Xmas day and witnessed him collide with some Dutch liveaboards. I managed to get video of it.
He only missed me by around a meter. I had to gun it to get out of the way, horn blasting the whole time.
I felt bloody sorry for the Dutchies, they were sitting on their boat have a glass of bubbles, next thing this prick went straight into them. He then moved across to Palm Beach from what I understand, and I think his tender washed up on Oneroa after he hit the Dutch couple.

Its all window dressing

The muddled assessor (not a Boatbuilder ) seems to have slipped one of the photos of Katrina 11 in there as well. Has been a bad year for two early Elliotts with this one and Hysteria being offered up cheap.
What happened to Hysteria?

It was nowhere near as bad as the forecast said... which appears to becoming the norm and Im sure that put alot of people off. The forecasts were saying if you werent round Brett by 0200 you were going to get a pasting, and it just wasnt like that.
My only other gripe was that the wind swung left after every left hand turn...sometimes she can act like a real bitch.
We finished at 0400 after a 20 knot screamer down from the Brett.

Orakei closes when things like marathon and round the bays is on

You also have to pay to have your boat near the course, I believe all the slots, or the presold tickets have been filled already. Was around 800 per day

I all, hope this is ok to add.
PCC and KBC are having a fun family friendly event over Labour Weekend.
This event is not designed to compete with The Coastal Classic, but is for those who would like to do something over the long weekend who will not be racing up to the Duke.
Or, if you are coming back down the coast pop on in.
Please see attached.
Cheers

Surely posting this photo breaches the site rules? It must be contrary to the terms and conditions?
Posting content that deliberately antagonises other site users, it's just blatant trolling now.
I mean, here I am, stuck in Auckland on a rainy grey weekend, two bored kids in the house, a very long list of boat maintenance jobs confronting me, and Bad Kitty is posting this sort of inflammatory and controversial material...
Get in line, he's been doing this to me for weeks....

Ignore him Matt, he’s just a sore loser. A few nice photos of beautiful Lau Group Islands & beaches & he goes all septic!
Torturing the workers is just mean man.....

Matt, I cant tell you how much I wish you hadnt installed it for him.....

Was it bad conditions though?
Several were fishing off the back, others were cooking/ sitting in the cabin chewing the fat and I think I read it was only 13 knots and small and getting smaller swells according to a survivor.
If it was that bad, surely they would have waited for the shelter that wasnt that far away before cooking?

Is it just me or does it seem like there's not much in the way of large public celebrations in our city? It's like the council is disconnected, the city needs positive easily accessible events to build some pride in Auckland, especially after the floods, covid, the constant complaining by the Mayor etc.
They really should have made a huge effort to bring the GP here, I mean how hard can it be, weve only hosted the worlds biggest sailing event multiple times! It would go a long way towards relieving the disappointment over Dalton removing the cup defense.
A huge problem is the red tape. I had a mate involved on the organisation of the AM Cup when we last won it.
He said he couldn't believe how many different council organisations had a seat at the table and they just would go round and round pontificating.
I believe the Italians complained about after the last cup cycle as well...?
My understanding this time is Coutts insisted on having the tank farm, which wasnt going to be ready no matter what and wouldn't budge on alternate areas. There was also serious pushback from the ferries (Fullers?) and the harbourmaster around the location.
