Supposedly they sail in 4-30kt. Don't know of that's avg or gust...
-
Anybody know what sort of conditions they sail in vs cancel for weather? Sunday looking a bit spicy depending on how this low tracks...
-
The track of that low keeps wobbling back and forth with each update. This morning it didn't look too bad for Akl but doesn't look great at the moment. Here's hoping it drifts a bit further west again...
-
I hear a top race-spec moth is $120k. It's a whole different thing these days.
-
Which end do you imagine is going to be the "top"?
-
Awesome! And summer proper seems to have arrived too.
-
At this point I'm inclined to think it will be sw 15-20 for the foreseeable
-
Not without raising the centre of effort and compromising performance. Which might be worth it, but is why race boats don't.
-
Anybody know if there's water on the public dock at waiheke marina yet? Presumably the orapiu hose is still there and just as tricky (tide/wake) as ever?
-
Onetangi has become an official CAN rather than a rahui as of a few days ago. But iirc the terms are different, it's not a straight anchoring ban but a cleaning order
-
Yeah the LINZ basemap isn't working, and hasn't been for at least a few weeks. It still works if you select the "marine traffic" layer but I don't know what the data source is for that, or how good it is.
-
I thought Charlie was going to run away with it but it's got tight now.
-
And the rich get richer. I think we can agree that east was not the way.
-
You were definitely right!
-
I think it's just about possible that it still might pay off for Le Cam, with the western boats in a second lot of doldrums. Hasn't worked for Conrad though.
-
Well I guess I should be more specific. Being on the reach is better than having to run angles trying to go DDW. Of course being to weather might be an advantage if it meant reaching rather than tacking.
-
Which is a disadvantage.
-
Looks to me like the front boats in the west are almost into the new breeze as well. Le Cam may have made it work but Conrad was a bit too far east?
-
Going to be interesting. I wish the tracker updates were a little more frequent. I wonder if the western boats will dare to follow the breeze further west. Looks good in the short term but then having to work back up to clear cape branco...
-
It's definitely the contrarian view. Only two boats going east? Interesting to see if they can get through to that southerly or not.

7 people required for sightseeing cruise to Bay of Islands
khayyam replied to funlovincriminal's topic in Crew Finder
He just said it would be exciting and that there would be sightseeing. No promises were made re: dry, comfortable, or warm! -
Not sure that's the budget solution!
-
Where do you keep the boat, and how often are you going to be lifting it on and off? If you're lifting a lot, and doing it somewhere awkward like a mooring, the lighter weight of a 2 stroke helps a lot. If the thing's just going to live on the stern except for getting it serviced, and then you lift it off in the marina, doesn't matter so much.
-
I'd hazard a guess that most of those 26' and under boats have had inboards replaced by outboards now. Our Farr 727 had, and that was 10 year ago.
