  1. Covers lifejackets well according to sail instructions. RULES 1.1 1.1 The event is governed by the rules as defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing. 1.2 The Yachting New Zealand Safety Regulations 2021-2024, Part 2, Category 3 shall apply with the following modifications: a.

    Watched the replay from friday morning last night,wife walks in and she says,more like something AI has dreamed up rather than yachts actually sailing. Thought about it a bit and thought.Yes you possibly could this via video game and telvise it and 90% of public wouldnt know the difference. Graphics today are incredible.Number 1 son in to design/graphics etc some the stuff he can makes me think its real.

    The only way I can tell if they are on port or starboard tack is by looking at which foil is down.No idea if they going to windward or downhill unless they wind via graphics. They talk about keeping cost down.How much was the new version of the 12m s like ones down at viaduct they use for harbour sailing.Must book another ride on one.

    I just read this.Should they though?? maybe if you think you have a slow boat and imo Emirates is. The americans down and out and finished 14 secs behind,maybe the one to watch. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/350395453/americas-cup-what-you-need-know-challenger-series-louis-vuitton-cup The Cup defenders contesting the challenger series is not unheard of. Oracle Team USA did so in 2017, albeit with one point counting towards the match race they lost against the Kiwis in Bermuda in 2017.
  17. Spencer the king ply boats NZ. but wait first thought of to been used in Around 3500 BC, archaeologists found the first traces of plywood in the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh. About more than 1500 years ago, humans used thin layers of wood as a construction material. Later, the Greeks and Romans used this technique to produce furniture and other decorative objects. But first commercial production n 1797 Samuel Bentham Just a bit trivia for you😀
  18. So boats are training grounds for the big tune orcas chase.

    What I do understand or am I missing something. Ok Team Dalts participated in pre regatta races,fair enough. But why is he allowed to race in the actuall luiveton? previously challengers only and defender went and played with themselves. Is he worried he doesnt have the performance?
  20. How did we ever survive fitting our own regulator,running gas pipe,when was the last vessel to explode via gas? Oh well back to carrying cans of kero or meths. Do I need a sniffer in the engine bay incase theres a diesel leak? never mind the mountain of wires running off the batteries. All over top imo
  21. read it went stern first,does that means rear launching deck open?
  22. If you are thinking of those tyre pandas to seal leaks,do not use,they seal by friction when driving,they dont work in inflatables tried on a pelican once,new tube required so it got dumped.

    not real yachts,pretty sure I could win a race if I won the start,non tactical racing.
  24. Have done the 2 anchors.layed at about 30 degrees to each other.as one slackens the other takes the strain.but if the wind changes direction.then fun begins.Didit a few yrs ago top of bon accord.swansea bay.just mising the bottom at low tide in thick mud.not quite bolar but close. Took main off boom and dropped furler.Ran motor every 2 hrs just to keep it warm
