Would do it, but really on a furling line of that size you should be doing it by hand or there is something wrong
-
I always thought those boats were C & C designs she was once owned by Ivan Erceg I believe .

Still dont understand the cost versus what you really get with lithium types versus AGM, particularly when I have had a great run with AGM and comparatively safe also not requiring a specialised charging regime.

First actual practice races today .......

The 2030 is older than those you list, I think it is Volvo not Shibaura like the current Volvos D2-30 etc

Go for hi-thrust you are a displacement hull under power

I think they have calmed down on it now that it is common knowledge that all the bad stuff is in the Bay, we were never approached last summer, but if you have to have a berth better have the paperwork. l

Well done on the transfer - and leCam has some pate and pain du jour to enjoy to make up for the tucker Kevin scoffed!

On the wind they only have a minute or two on each board so it is a busy race for the crew.
-
Obviously not so happy with their boat though, working 24hr shifts and changing the layout on deck and foil tips a bit.

Minards diesel just North of Sydney -run by a girl with more Yanmar knowledge than the current local lot. Very unusual for an SD50 to have gear issues usually it is just the cones which can be lapped fairly easily.

A great race to follow, this is the way forward as they will show in the ocean race.
-
So from this little discussion I take leave the dates and current start times-it works for most. Possibly allow finishers up till 18.30 on the Saturday -that would also work for everyone -except perhaps the poor sods on finish boat duty.

Nothing secret as reported in the Herald years ago, some characters caught up with the ex owner who was living in Monaco -as you do, which resulted in multiple broken bones... -
I went to the CC sight looking for info but was disappointed as like many here I dont facebook and the coverage was great till Rangi light! Did Champosa finish after motoring ?

Gosh most in the industry thought Sensation had collapsed over ten years ago - certainly the Russian owner of one project caught up with the old boss up there with painful results. -
Oh no fishing and baches must have been calling or Wired got ahead for a change.

Though most of them are sailing north tonight.... -
Didnt know there were any left- I guess they must be referring to YDL?

One of NZ's naturally talented sailors and quite a gentleman compared to some of his early competitors
