    Yes, Gulf Classic is a must do for us every year so I hope they don't clash next time. About a dozen keelers and a pile of trailer boats this year so I guess it wouldn't affect the harbour race numbers significantly. Be nice to do both though, specially now that its 30 bucks.

    Had a great race in the Gulf Classic and a good view of the HC Boats as they sailed to Torbay. So did the ship :-)

    Hopefully no clash next year.

    How was the turnout at bay week?

    Great event. They got 100+ boats, Quite a few local and Whangarei but also Tauranga and Whitianga :-)  Most of the "big" name Auckland 40's and 50's were there and solid fleets below.

    Weather, organisation, shore facilities, island party were superb.

    The big head scratcher is what would a half hull of a catamaran look like and would it cost twice as much???

    I presented a half model of Sundreamer i had made to the squadron a few years back.

    And even more surprising they chose to support RAYC. I can only assume they want to move into the dinghy market? Or perhaps coffee and scone market? Doyles coffee with a side of carpark?

  5. Yeah but if you round the ODM you still have to make your way back across the fleet to get to the marina entry. Crossing the line, making your way towards the breakwater and back alongside it probably causes less interference

     

    having said that, yeah i never sail back across the line :-)

  6. I used to haul Sundreamer at Okahu Bay. The first few years when NZ Cranes were at Westhaven it would cost about $800 out and in. However when they moved to Onehunga it went up to over $3000. 
     

    After I used Robertson's in Warkworth which was a pain with the travel but perfectly useable. There are probably facilities at Clevedon and other areas outside the city centre which I suspect is a big part of the angst. Aucklanders want to slot their maintenance in between the gym and their latte. That and being able to take 3 months to do a weekends work. But you know....gym and lattes...

    My last Sundreamer haul out was on the slipway at Orams which wasn't that expensive if you organise with them to get out and back in between major jobs.

    Sad to say Smithy passed away yesterday but not before marrying his sweetheart the day before. Fair winds mate, you fought a good fight :-(
