  1. That's what all the Westhaven Club's do!
  2. Is that Westhaven's fault? Maybe which ever arm of Auckland Council approves events should compensate others affected. Or Sail GP ?
  3. I'm surprised they couldn't leave a narrow access lane along the southern side of the harbour...
  4. To be fair you need to combine both NW 1 and NW 2 divisions in 2024 to compare with NW1 entries in 2023 if you do that results aren’t that different in terms of numbers. The reasons for PHRF have already been mentioned in other posts. PHRF like any other system isn’t perfect but it’s the best we have and the more races that use it the better it will be. Interestingly if Sculpin’s PHRF hadn’t changed before the last race they would have finished 14th in the race and 3rd overall in the series.

    Sail GP unfortunately never do windward starts. As much as a Auckland SailGP suits me... I think the geography and consistency of wind angle in Lyttelton works better for the event as does the Christchurch riverside entertainment district after racing

Maybe a better system is the Judge goes a
  7. Amazing the comments from people who have no idea... The cabin top has deliberately not been installed as the boat is currently undergoing testing and sea trials and not having the cabin top makes it far easier to access parts for adjustment.

  10. there are currently about 15 empty 12m berths on F1 pier alone. Westhaven have overcooked it with price increases.
  11. Area in green box is where vessels often shelter under North Cape Area in red box is a shallow area which in certain conditions will cause waves to rear up / amplify. As you can see it would be very tempting to cut the corner and go over the shallow patch as you get to the sheltered anchorage quicker... However it would be much safer making a much wider rounding
  12. Another organization going broke. Fixed
  13. After St Johns rebranded donations dropped... would have thought Coastguard would learn from that!
  14. Jon... you might want to edit some of your spelling!🤣

    I thought the first job on a Tucker boat was to install a decent stereo, fog machine and laser lights? These items are all required for a boat warming!
