  1. Tiny and Mr Bassett will be well rested by the time the bulk of the fleet arrive.
  2. Looks like Sweetwaters is resorting to the iron topsl again.
  3. And revert to coaching a young crewmate?
  4. Strange that Playbouy is showing on the tracker as being in Mangonui this morning? Has Guy borrowed another Stewart rig or is he going to jump on someone elses boat ????
  5. Nice to see Playbouy going the full classic route for this event -with a bowsprit as Pahi and the other glass one did when they went round a few years back.
  6. Surely there is an opening for an in port event at Napier -log rolling , any Canadians entered?
  7. Entry fee still a bit out there, friday rum race more us...
  8. While its not raining (for now) open everything up and let the breeze blow through fresh water will dry.
  9. You are lucky to have a triple skin one , will require less maintenance than the carvel Woolacotts and probably have the designers hull shape more accurate .
  10. This time last year he was pedalling the length of NZ in the Tour Aotearoa, then came back and did the Three Kings race two handed -in fact there were a number of crew who had just done the TA on that race! These guys know how to live -good on him.
  11. Last built in the early eighties
  12. Yes only one boat Stuff very confused
  13. Amazing -good on the Navy it was too rough for anyone else.
  14. A fun viewing -even recognised Jack from Matari the Herreshoff three master at Waiheke enjoying himself in the Pacific as usual.
  15. Bleeper picked up this morning thats why she shifted , been thinking of our friend aboard all night.
  16. I was surprised they closed the Bridge last night at 5 but I guess then everyone could go home and stand down and based on reports from the North was a sensible precaution, going over it this morning calm sea and maybe 15 knots no probs -not convinced tonight will be so calm.
  17. Thanks will view it, noticed the Datsun boxes at the beginning-reminds me of the Hartley 38' motorsailer and numerous Piver tris that when sanded down at Okahu bay revealed the designation BMC 😏
  18. Stripped the headsail off the foil last night on the cruiser as it was easier then, than after coming back from Squadron weekend on Sunday, hopefully am being over cautious but having seen the carnage in an Auckland marina when they came loose in a real blow it was an easy decision.
  19. The mussels were plentiful on the wave break-oh thats right the council is still trying to remove itπŸ˜• I dont believe mussels set up home in silt and mud.
  20. A number of large local charter boats stay there often
  21. Okahu bay is now stripped of moorings so not a bad city side spot
  22. Go to Opunga , you can anchor in close good holding and no fetch.
  23. It was a fast return though, will we recognise your crew dressed as spanish pirates ?
  24. Not exactly pretty but rather practical, I prefer the look of a Wylo and good to see that he has copied some of the features of them such as the A frame for dropping the rig.
