Looks like the One Ton Cup Revisited 2015 - Chris Bouzaids old boats Rainbow II, and Wai Aniwa.
-
Hmm, the last few miles have really impacted the results for the leg, and the whole race. Maybe the finish line should have been at Orakei? They don't finish in the harbour at Mangonui, or Napier. This is supposed to be offshore racing, not harbour racing!
-
Thanks Muzza for the great photos! I sailed on Rhumbline a while ago. Rhumbline was based in Wellington early 2000's then moved to Sydney in 2005. Not sure where she is now.
-
Titanium are pulling out quite a lead already.
-
He was delivering a yacht from NZ to Brazil. He got thrown overboard by the mainsheet, in 2-3m seas. Wasn't wearing a harness or lifejacket. Used his jeans as a flotation device for 3 hours. When they brought the yacht into Gisborne it was hauled out, as someone spotted fan worm on it.

German sailor survived using jeans as flotation, after being knocked overboard near Gisborne. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12211137

Oh dear, the Farr 38s have had a bad night, getting left behind. Arbitare got becalmed from 1-6am, and Copellia from 5-8am. All the others kept moving at over 5 knots. Middle 3 are now looking famous, with Titanium and Krakatoa too far in and out.
-
Copellia are even closer in, so I think Titanium are still racing.
-
Looks like offshore is paying. Krakatoa smoking everyone on the outside. Titanium have somehow done ok till now near the coast, but they are really slowing now.

Re Arbitare: "Murray is on his way back to the island after being in hospital over on the mainland for two doses of IV antibiotics after developing a nasty infection (of coral spores in the sea water) in his leg, he has been given clearance by the Dr and is on his way back to the ferry to meet up with Dave and set off after the others "

Results are here http://richmondyc.org.nz/results/2018/club/R66/series.htm Last boat finished at 5am.
-
Looks like 2 boats have stopped at Kawau, and maybe more on their way. Can't face a long night sail?

YNZ Race Regulations Cat1-Cat5; Anomalies and concerns
ex Elly replied to DrWatson's topic in MarineTalk
Lead lines got removed from the rules about 8 years ago. I was surprised there wasn't any outcry at the time. -
I had the opposite situation, sold my yacht on TradeMe, and the top bidder refused to pay. He also messed up the auction for the serious bidders. I reported him to Trade Me, they did nothing.
-
It looks like Krakatoas rest up at Jackson Bay has been a tactical winner for them! They are now close inshore doing 7-8 knots while Gale Force struggle a bit further out at 2-3 knots, and Coppelia just ahead doing 4-5 knots.

2019 SSANZ Round New Zealand race - Results lottery

Motorboat by 4.5 hours. -
I reckon Krakatoa should send a diver down. They must have one of those massive barnacle infestations like in the GGR!
-
Did you forget about jetskis? These need to be registered, under council bylaws for lots of councils in NZ.
-
Wow! Took 9 hours, and 930 dives/ breaths. And ate potato soup!
-
With former Olympians and America's cup sailor's competing, e.g. TNZ coach Rod Davis. http://2019.okworlds.org/ https://livesaildie.com/dan-slater-wins-2019-ok-dinghy-world-championships-on-home-waters/

I wonder why they did it at Lake Arapuni in the Waikato?
-
Going for a high of 15 degrees tomorrow in Oban. Brrr. Hope they have packed some hot water bottles!
-
All sailing crew must be "nationals" of the country. But there is no definition of "nationals".
-
I think that would be frowned upon, and also be against the rules, sorry.
