El Toro

Thats a really sh*t read....really sorry to hear that

Got a snap of the spray dodger?

Its been there for years. I saw it actually sailing towards Waiheke on the first race of the Commodores Cup. Often wonder the same thing

Addem, Id suggest looking to recalc the speedo and would also suggest you probably went a bit faster than that. One of my crew during a coastal several years ago hit over 17 knots and then decided it was logging to fast, so reduced the calibration off Sail Rock, which meant even though we went faster a bit later on, nobody broke his record...and we never got around to recalibrating. That does sound like good times!

You should be doing the coastal!!!!

Yawn

On Auckland wharf.... coming to town? Am guessing its a Mumm 30?

Think about the children!

I always though Pork Chop had a pretty bloody good ring to it

Great thanks Steve, I have his duffel bag, hat and still use the two blankets he used on that tour to keep crew warm on the raft now...bloody good blankets

Anything on Noel Tattersfield in that book Steve Pope? I had a grandfather on each of those boats for the race over and Tassy

Ha, moot point I guess... I suppose we have all had an underlying fear one of them would take us out before the final but refused to believe it possible, wonder what the odds on that happening now are

Thanks, that's ridiculous

Can someone explain the points system to me please? From memory ousa can carry points into the final, which is first to 5 anyway? For some reason I think they can carry 2 points into the final if they win the first round?

Think white dot is the big cheese and red dot is the rear. Maybe

Even easier.....

Id suggest you get on facebook then, if only for this event, if you can use a tracker then you can use facebook, simply like this 1 page and be done with it. Coverage was fine, live starts, updates... If you dont like that answer, then dont complain about sh*t coverage, cause it was all there....having yer head on the sand b/c you dont like social media or whatever is irrelevant. This is where it is heading, whether you like it or not. Same for Transpac.

Bazza,make sure you use the anode attached to the engine that goes over the side. When I put that system in it started burning through the anode on the leg. The sparky thought I may have been earthing the whole pier. Was the simplest system they thought that would be covered by the regs when they installed it, but they did say that they couldnt figure out the regs themselves and that was the best option

Whats not Cat3 Bazza?

They were sailing SJ last night, had gander at them as we sailed past.....bugger

Looks like its on a trailer to me....but what do I know, my boat is plastic...

Regardless, I thought the photo showed some nice lines of the trailer sailer

Search for Keep left unless passing

It turned up on a sh*t Driving Facebook page... seems the guy doesn't understand the keep left unless passing road rule
