Too early for weather predictions? I certainly hope so after looking at Metvuws 1300hrs Coastal Friday forecast!

I'll take it when it's in the offing! It was easy to see the apparent pace of the boat but yes they had a couple of mares in that race. 90k not a lot for a new boat but in saying that - I'm leaving my 20k 80's ross tip truck at Russell again after this years Coastal to do another 14 day xmas cruise with the wife and kids and that's the saving grace for my yacht racing campaign! Mum would let me spend $89k on a Young 11 but not on another skiff

Not quite there yet ????

Mean Streak hoping to go at least 1 better than last year, including Grunt Machine, The Entertainer and Hot Diggity Dawg that's 4 930's so far - any more going to come out and play?

That's cool!

This will boil your biscuit - for Saturdays SSANZ I ran the Multi unit (with the depth transducer unplugged of course) purely as a SOG repeater. It was also displaying depth, and based on a few checks against the plotter throughout the day... seemed to be reading pretty accurately. For the life of us, we could not ascertain where the unit was getting its data from! Is there a possibility, that when connected to the Vulcan but not getting a transducer signal, the depth according to the plotter and tide info is calculated for your position and displayed? Was weirding us out a bit

We finally managed to join all the dots on Mean Streak and had a largely mistake free race. Held masthead symmetric from start right on C.U's hip past brown's then had to run off a bit in the puffs and finally decided to foot a bit for speed , then hoist jib and come back up around whatever that big point is called, before setting fractional Gennaker and carrying that all the way to shag island. Rounded that leading all but C.U and then proceeded to play the 'Overpowered Skinny 930' game all the way up the north coast of Waiheke. We took our foot of Mercenaries throat long enough for them to

I've got Advansea S400 Wind and Multi instruments on my boat, hooked up to a B&G Vulcan 7 plotter/Autohelm via NMEA Backbone. The S400 was chosen as a direct replacement for the old Navman units as they can use the Navman transducers. All has run well for 2 years however the water speed stopped reading about 6 months ago (thought maybe transducer). But after coming out of the water for a keel reset and hull scrape/coat when we fired the instruments up the Multi display up and quit. Got a new one, put it in for the Enduro however on the way to the start the screen started sh

Sorted thanks guys

Not to mention an anderson bailer would create drag

Originally I wanted to do just that- drill a hole in a low angle a d epoxy in a pvc tube slash cut underneath to let the rushing water vacuum the excess out. I mean the plugs only in there when you're sailing and by rights that should mean you're moving forward? But Ive been told that doesn't work on a 930. What kind of 1 way valve can you get for a tube - buy a warehouse snorkel and cut it down?

Lost our outboard well plug coming home from the windy SSANZ 100 and have had to make a new one. Need a method of draining residual water trapped after fitting it and my tame Serbian 930 owner friend informs me a venturi style bailer is the go. Does anyone have such a thing taking up space at home?

Beautiful

What is that keeler sunk in the first pic?

BRING IT

You never seen a cat with a leash before?

You'd be glad its not a GHYC/Weiti race then Jon... 4 weeks ago the start boat got hit... 2 weeks ago the finish boat... I'm picking someones going to hook the wing mark this Sunday and haul it all over the gulf

I've found mine to be Bipolar at best

Nooooice!!!!

I seem to recall a lineage of boats for the original owner: Wasted Away Wasted Away Again Margaritaville All purported to be Ross boats? Could just be urban legend though...

My all time favourite Rossboat

If there was a yellow division you could run one of those super absorbent kitchen cloths, could damn near clean up a whole bottle at a time! But on a 930, one decent gust and you'd be 10kg out of balance on one shroud...

Why are all the Y88's only doing the short course? Is it because they are less comfortable than 930's, 830's and SR26's?

That is some great footage. That current!
