  1. Hi Splat, I am pleased to say that these worked fantastically during the Northern Triangle. I used the base data and then tweaked a little where I know we are a bit faster off the wind with a rather large A2 up. Having polar performance data continually showing certainly made both co-skippers keep working hard to keep the numbers at 100% or better. I may just put the Predictwind data hub on my Christmas wish list which will improve this continually.
  2. We were too, believe me! Chuffed as heck to have the overall win in leg 1 and 3. RaceTrack shows consistent performance on all 3 legs, so not a lot more we could have done. 1st on line in div 3 for all three too (did I mention we are just a little chuffed?). Not bad for a Dacron pinhead main that was built by Doyle in 2004 for The Bondi Tram!
  3. Thank you! I can start with these and my MFD will tell me how I am performing against them. They look like class boats but at least that will give me a base to start from and then improve from there.
  4. Nope but at the moment I chose a Sunfast 3200 or Dehler 30OD as a benchmark. It would be nice to get something closer. Hmmm anyone splashed the cash on a Predictwind data hub yet and wants to loan it out?
  5. Anyone have a set of polars for the 930?
  6. No, you can still steer but I don't make any wild movements on the tiller.
  7. Any interest in a set of good condition squabs (free to a good home) or they go in the bin. I have had a new set made. Collection from Westhaven.
  8. Section 1 – Steering and Sailing Subsection 1 – Conduct of vessels in any condition of visibility 22.4 Application of subsection 1 Rules in this subsection apply in any condition of visibility. 22.5 Look-out Every vessel must at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing as well as by all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions, so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and the risk of collision. To my mind a vessel at anchor is neither steering nor sailing. What am I missing?
  9. Nothing in this Part applies to a vessel participating in a race or training or coaching in relation to other vessels participating in such an activity, if the participants have agreed to comply with the International Sailing Federation Rules, prescribed by the International Sailing Federation So, we are anchoring overnight as part of a training exercise and we have agreed to abide by RRS
  10. Can anyone provide a link to the actual MNZ interpretation? I can only find unrelated articles on their website (vessels were all moving and either collided with another vessel or with terra firma).
  11. He’s not dead, he’s resting after a long squawk from diving in freezing water
  12. What options are left for in-water hull cleaning at Westhaven (excluding me in winter ). My regular cleaner is no longer able to do this.
  13. You could get a Raymarine i40 bi-data display for $467 and a through hull speed/depth for $566 which is close (Lusty & Blundell). If you bought each separately from Australia you should be able to find them at a significantly reduced cost.

    Mine is a very simple installation (12v only, no engine to start) and I have a Sterling 120AH with Victron mains and smart solar charger. Extremely happy with all the kit, and the battery state and consumption via bluetooth helps massively to manage consumption while there is only solar to top up while out sailing. The Sterling is pretty rugged and nice and light.
  15. Are these tickets just for general access? We didn't have to pay to watch in Cadiz (other than the $20 burgers, but to be fair they were extremely good)
