What date next week will that occur on KM --please let the well wishers and on-lookers know so we can watch said execution of promise

[Chains Ropes & Anchors ANZAC 150]

Agree with that Meister--no-one in the Cruising Division yet --maybe they don't realise that Cat 3 is not required .

Cut off for entries is l believe the 20h so sort yourselves out and enter c

Hi Everyone --Remember to sign up Short haul and cruising divisions along with the RNZ qualifier of 450 miles for the keen ones

[SSANZ Races --2018]

The planning for the SSANZ 2 handed races is well underway .

ANZAC Enduro sponsored by Chains Ropes and Anchors in April ,

2018 Safety at Sea Triple Series for July ,August , September.  

See the SSANZ website , plan your sailing calendar and sign up .

[2018 Chains, Ropes and Anchors ANZAC Enduro]

Bump--support the sponsor (Chains Ropes and Anchor )as well ---more boats entered so plan for a fun weekend --even the cruising race is a challenge , especially with an evening start and a night sail .

[Chains Ropes & Anchors ANZAC 150]

Any ideas for next year--courses with a destination of Great Barrier --ANZAC is mid week next year so we need to plan for another great event and get more boats --longer courses -250/350 miles ??? 

[Castlepoint]

Exposed , lagoon only good for  trailer boats (never seen a boat with a mast in there when l was a regular out there )and can be a surf running --main beach good to surf, no place for a yacht unless exceptionally settled and after a few days of offshore winds (highly unlikely !!) 

[Akl marina berth demand.]

Please don't confuse the previous duty free and the Duty Free that is me --l actually agree with the comments and one of the reasons l am hearing of people not trading up is the cost of a bigger berth --I am regularly approached by brokers but keep saying l cant/don't want to afford the cost of a bigger berth and l am happy with the 1220 l have and the 12m berth --fairly soon the fees will push some of us out of the best marina around so if we want to stay on the water we either trade back down or move elsewhere.

[Round North Island, 2 Handed ---2017]

BUMP---Start off Devonport , 2pm this Saturday

[SSANZ ANZAC 250]

Entries close tomorrow for all divisions .

Email from Race Director ,

 

Hi all,

The SSANZ Chains Ropes and Anchors Anzac Race normal entries close tomorrow.

This is a race designed as a qualifier for the RNI and should be seriously considered by anyone thinking of going around the island next year.

The race will count as a qualifier for the boat and two skippers even in the event of the race being shortened if the weather is light as we consider time on the water in a race environment to be of more value than just ticking the box of miles sailed.

 

See you on the start line.

Duty Free paid and entered a few weeks ago --not showing up but we will be there

[Farr 1220.... Comments about them needed please ...]

Not very knowledgeable about Osmosis in 1220's  at all --haven't heard of any talk but that doesn't mean a thing .

Good luck

Excellent news --don't forget to make contact if you see Duty Free in your travels .
