  1. I did a race Auckland/Apia  on Nutcracker a sister ship in 1981 Thought they were a bit tender. I understand there was 3 ,built the first one went to Tasmania  if I remember  correctly  Jack Williams designed them as a rating boat of the time 

     

  2. I remember coming back from Hobart in Unicorn the Davidson 1/2tonner   13 days  long time a sea in 29" yacht with 5 crew some of the crew had done the round trip from Auckland to do the Hobart race Hoe things have change , Remember TRAMP well sail on GOLDENKIWI had some good battles with her

  3. Jonathan , is pretty close to the answer it is the PHRF handicap it is a lottery, Have a look at the PICMARINE GOLD CUP the same yachts  show up all the time.on handicap, that is one of the reasons the owners are losing interest, there are owners talking about not doing it next year because there is no chance of getting a good placing under  PHRF as it stands at the moment even if your yacht is well sailed

    so what is the answer IRC?

    ,

  4. They are real good yacht

    race on LAWLESS TheXp44 sport  and she has done a lot on hard miles in her 3years and still in good condition with no warranty work so that speaks highly of the structure of the X-yachts am sure yours is the same

  5. 12m marina in the gulf harbour waterways  for rent  reasonable rate short or long term

    make an offer for what you will pay to rent it per month keen to get a boat on it

  6. On LAWLESS we have missed place a spinnaker staysail made by Evolution with Furler

    and  in a Evo bag , last sighted at BAY WEEK if any one has come a cross it

  7. great race pity the entries were down , Great ride to White island then on to East cape think most off us got a bit of a touch up there  I know we did

    Rikki went past us at 22knts just after rounding East island  after chasing us on  Lawless   for the last day

  8. All handicaps have a cost every year just part of racing

    But At least the IRC yachts are weighed , hull measurements taken and sail's measured and signed off

    PHRF is just a guessing game to a point

    think the problem with IRC in Nz is boat owners can't get thee head around it and we don't have the yachts going to Australia or other countries to race like the years gone by so there is no real need to get IRC measured
