  1. Unfortunately Lloyd from AB Windows has retired now. Good to hear there is someone else skilled in this area.

    But then a remarkable turnaround on day 2. Won the start, won the race. It can be done!
  3. Actually, the 49ers had 2 podium capable teams, but one got injured.
  4. Loveworkx is a youtuber who has sailed around the world to NZ. I watched another video of hers where she went to a party at Lin Pardey's in Kawau. She has described the Christams Day incident at Oneroa here, to save you watching the long video. https://sailing.loveworkx.com/drama-waiheke-island/
  5. I have chosen the refund, so will pay $40 extra for a brand new one. Just have to remember to remove the strobe light before returning.
  6. Those 2 were neck and neck leading the fleet when they took the gamble down the coast of Africa early in the race. However Colman then fell back to 30th, and then slowly made his way back through the fleet to finish 21st. Good recovery!

  9. Troubled waters for Yachting NZ Yachting New Zealand is the country's first body to be dragged before the new Sport Integrity Commission, in what is uncharted territory But beneath the podium it's not all smooth sailing. Editor of Sail World, Richard Gladwell, said it was nowhere near as bad as it looks, and "Yachting New Zealand is always the whipping boy". "It doesn't really matter what they do, they're always the one at fault," he said. That's a perception forged out of his history as not only an Olympic triallist, but his work from 2004 to 2012 on the board of Yach
  10. Today is the first Saturday with no wind for more than a month. We have dozens of utes with trailers parked around the streets here.

    Haha, yes! And we very rarely see boats getting shut out above the line, so not sure why they wouldn't try starting near the windward end?

    Is there a wooden spoon for worst starter? 😅 Approaching close hauled at the pin gives you no room to bear off and build speed before the gun. It's never going to work, no matter how many times he tries it! 🤔
