    Its not, but I hauled him up and down a few times and held the dumb end of the tape

    Nice shiny new rigging too?
  3. Clipper
    Just force a name change to RAC?
  4. Clipper
    Wow, sorry to hear about your boat, thanks for coming and filling in the details., Hope you and crew all recovered?
  5. Clipper
    Horrible to see. Any idea what sort of boat?
  6. Clipper
    oh. I might be wrong too - I remember the squadron pausing it earlier for the 150th stuff before Covid stuffed us all. I didn't look again. If its RAYC, I agree with you Romany!
  7. Clipper
    wrong club....
  8. Clipper
    Yep, we should maintain the berths we pay approx. 1 squillion dollars a month for. Great idea.

    In their defence, the new CEO at RNZYS is recognising some of those issues, and rum races are now just $10. Hey Arian, what's the cost of a Wednesday night length race on Aprils Fools day with NZMYC? 😀

    Dig up bro

    I'm a hard core sailor, and while there is some dickhead boaties, many are ex yachties who love being on the water. I dont want a launch, but if it were the only option to get out on the water, why not?

    Perfect Storm, formerly called 'Codebreaker' in wellington. Yep, a stomp 38. Perfect Family cruiser

    I heard a rumour its been canned anyway

    Is there a go fund me page to buy a drink for each RAYC member who voices disgust at their exec and resigns their membership? I’d donate a lot to that…

    Cruising the new boat on the one sunny day of xmas holiday

    I've learnt that sailing is not a hobby for me, its an addiction. Its expensive, overly time consuming, but cant stop, nor do I want to. Biggest problem I now have is a partner who loves it more than me, and Im sure it will send us broke, but what fun way to do it.... We have a simple system. All her income goes on house and living. All mine goes on boat.... DONT ADD IT UP, YOU'LL ALL STOP SAILING

    If you are in auckland you could test it in your driveway at the moment…

    That's another interesting point - why is the party beforehand?

    The PHRF requirement is a bit of a strange one if trying to build a large spectacle race? And Its not clear yet what the $100 to $150 entry covers, but if its just the race, might be a bit steep for some. i dont want to sound negative, the concept looks great fun.

    Why the trip? We have a family Bach at pahi, dont ever see yachts in there?
  22. Clipper
    Couldn't agree more
  23. Clipper
    What about that really slow, stock std y11 with the tiny pintop main? Surely thats a div 4 boat?
  24. Clipper
    Great report, thanks. On that last point, I've done the 350, and the white island race, enjoyed them a lot. However, with the stance that RAYC took re the landing closure, I’ll not be entering any more of their races. Why support a ‘sailing’ club that doesn't support all the requirements of sailing
  25. Clipper
    Such a short sighted, ridiculous point of view. I cannot believe that is supported by many of the sailors who are (well, if were me, WERE) members. I'm honestly stunned that RAYC does not want to support big boat sailing anymore. To be fair, the last event I saw was wind warriors, they don't need much hard stand space for maintenance I suppose.
