  1. What about that really slow, stock std y11 with the tiny pintop main? Surely thats a div 4 boat?
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. Don't we all (as yachties) pay heaps of fees to some kind of national organisation to represent us in matters like this? cough @YNZ cough....
  5. Surely the piedy IS the dinghy?
  6. Handicaps: https://www.ssanz.co.nz/pic-triple-series-2022-handicaps/
  7. Thanks Mark, your effort is appreciated.
  8. Haha, yeah, nah, not what I meant. I agree with khayyam that actually enforcing our existing rules might be a good start.
  9. Driven a car lately? They are Licensed and registered. Still bloody idiots everywhere. And crashes
  10. Young 11 from Queensland I think.
  11. Its not like its a race with one of the biggest fleets each year. Oh wait. Nevermind. maybe they are too busy planning a kiwi defence of the Americas Cup Oh. Wait. Nevermind…..
  12. Im excited, started the conversion from cruiser to ‘cruiser with race sails’ today.
  13. This one should probably work OK
  14. Some bulb reshaping perhaps?
  15. Shimmer looks a lot more suitable than some that have made it around.
  16. Looks a lot like a big 62’ cat 😏
  17. My favourite game is to load up my trolley(s) and only look at the gate, walk to the gate. If i stop to check for cyclists, scooters, dogs, ill never get there. The marina was built for boaties. Who pay obscene amounts to keep their boats there. Public are welcome to walk around, the area, but not welcome to hold up access to my boat.

    SailGP

    I used a vpn app on my phone to watch live on youtube, mirrored to tv. The racing was good, the visuals pretty good, pretty bad commentary as usual. The crash was a windward boat (ainslie) failing to see a boat to leeward and landing on them. Looks like nz almost hit the french because of it too. Very exciting, but poor nathan.
