  1. Hi Maarten, I'll put the word out and see if any slots are available. cheers
  2. Entries extended ti 21st March - So come on folks sign up now.
  3. Entries have been extended till Monday 21st- We are hoping for more entries- Great prizes and free berths.
  4. Boo Boo I have an X5 surplus to requirements - if you still need?
  5. Come on Folks - get your entry in today. Chance at redemption following the Northern Triangle.
  6. Get your entries in today! Still plenty of free berth spaces available.
  7. Shimmer is well suited to the RNI. "To finish first - first you have to finish." In 2011 36 boats started but only about half finished. It can be a tough race for sure.
  8. Yeah - the maths look good at the time and even at 12:00am off Fitzroy we were looking good- but by Tryphena it all went bad. We had to sail damn hard the rest of the way- luckily we made good ground to Colvile and also through the gap at Motuhui - so only an hour + late to the finish.
  9. Hi Guys - Come on and sign up for the 2 handed div Auckland Tauranga Race- Free berths at TGA for 7 days- chance to race back the following weekend or as far as GMI.
  10. Ben - we are a possible starter depending on work load required for race management- Yes we have unfinished business
  11. I'm trying to get as many of the Northern Triangle entrants as possible - The 2 handed trophy is as big as the Bledisloe. Also some great prizes to be had.
  12. Notice of Race is now available see www.at2.nz Free berths available for up to 7 days for race entrants. Max 50 berths available up to 14M. More News coming in the next few days so check out the website www.a2t.nz for details. Online entries will open within a the next few weeks.
  13. Ezy Peezy - All you need is a set of 'Magic Fingers' (Super Cheap) and a stick light then go fishing - done it many times. Wood wont dissolve !
  14. Hi Boo, Yeah I have suggested this also - and it has merit. Years ago it did start around 4.00pm.
  15. The A2T is on. 25th-27th March 2022. Question is what day is preferred start? Friday 25th or Saturday 26th ? Let us know please.
  16. The TYPBC A2T race is scheduled for the weekend of March 25 2022. However due to the Auckland lockdown this has forced the RNZYS to reschedule the 3 kings race to 31st March, which is a week after the A2T. Puts us in a difficult spot, for A2T boats to be entered in both events. Understandably RNZYS have moved the 3Kings to the best available slot. TYPBC are looking forward to the A2T but feel the 3Kings date may affect entries for the A2T. So what to do? (1) Stick with the 25th March ? (2) Move the A2T back to the traditional Easter Weekend with a race start on
  17. Thanks Mate. Yes a voting button would be great - Who's the Guru ?
  18. The divergence of industry in general from the main centers is inevitable. This being driven by the reasons you mentioned. There is fabulous opportunity for the marine industry in coastal regional centers, such as Whangarei Tauranga, Gisborne,Napier etc. Tauranga has got to be the jewel in the crown with 2 very good clubs, with a stellar reputation when it comes to champions. just an example. The country's only deep water port, when it comes to export. The Bay of Plenty has several active clubs, as well as BOPTYS in Rotorua which is the largest trailer yacht squadron in the country- Plen
