I downloaded the cg app after winddan stopped. What a horrible app, old version was better.

Mine looks like the oliver sudden setup

Caltex sandringham road does too

I haven't got pics. Mine has an eye spliced into each end (by CRA) and cow-hitched through the pulpit and lashed to the pushpit. I spliced a few short bits for stern lifelines, its quite fiddly and with almost no stretch in the dyneema cover it was a challenge for a splicing newby like me. i wish I could replace my lower wire too, but chafe would be too much of an issue through the stanchions. Mine has 50mm lengthsoff lifeline cover tube at each stanchion to prevent chafe there.

She looked just fine this morning when i was down there

I have 4mm sheathed dyneema on my top lifelines. Its awesome. No chafe issues, care needs to be taken through stantions. My lower is still wire due to inability to protect from chafe through stantions

Awesome. Saves weight too

An extremely slim one on a very wet multi.

During the RNZ I looked up the tides for somewhere once in the Almanac. First time I have opened opened one during a race. Hate to think of how many I have bought over the years, would be a few hundred dollars easily. I think that is the item that pisses me off the most.

Just to be clear, i wasnt serious, but if weather is good, it must be easier than swimming...

Pick a nice day and go for a sail? I vaguely recall Gavin Brady sailed his P class across cook straight?

Is there a way of viewing nowcasts online, outside of cg app or pw subscription?

If this thread was my visit to crew.org I would not come back.

That sux. Hope it comes back, love that app. Its what the cg app should have been

And I hear the 40th (and final) boat has entered. A class 40 - Evolution Sails Rattle n Rum

I always understood that didn't apply to yachts, but thinking about it, it could be that it would not be enforced for yachts?

But i thought if it was on the internet it must be true....

At 37 now, hopefully one more coming. The last entry I saw is our resident bondage expert!

Pick me, I know what you did! Nice vid though, I like the brothers tucking with each other at 0:50...

Whats the question? My lifelines have no ferrule or low friction rings, just lashing through a spliced eye in the lifeline. Chains ropes and anchors did mine. I spliced the ones across the transom, its quite a fiddly splice.

The thought crossed my mind as it could tie in nicely with the sydney to auckland afterwards. But the wife didnt think it a good idea in her crusing boat and having thought about the hobart i did, doing it 2 handed would have been hell.

Nice halyard
