Wow, sorry to hear about your boat, thanks for coming and filling in the details., Hope you and crew all recovered?
-
Horrible to see. Any idea what sort of boat?
-
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!
-
wrong club....
-
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? 😀

So, I am going to be little stronger in my reply to you guys in this thread that piled onto me - go get stuffed and apply your same 'outrage' to everyone else that may have used generalisations - FFS.

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?

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…

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

Just donated to this, everyone that's interested in boating in Auckland could try & give something, even $5? And maybe show that we care? Or we'll have no facilities at all to support our habit. (Addiction?)
Also donated

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?

RAYC are amongst the major villans here and should be taken to task for their attitude.
Couldn't agree more

What about that really slow, stock std y11 with the tiny pintop main? Surely thats a div 4 boat?
-
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

Unbelievable, the RAYC Commodore then gave a presentation about why they want the yard closed, including requesting they would like the lease the land for storage. This is from the self proclaimed "Premier Blue Water yacht club of New Zealand." The RAYC presentation was followed by similar one from the Akarana Marine Sports Trust supporting closing the yard.
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.
