I'm sure this has come up before, i.e. rig not covered by insurance beyond a certain age. I can't quite face searching for it right now though.

For the second year running, I am certain that the weather didn't help.

I hear a top race-spec moth is $120k. It's a whole different thing these days.

Also Navionics Web App (now called Garmin Marine Maps) has started working again, even the sonarcharts

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

Was working now "DEAD"
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 really think so? Looks like he's getting hung out to dry pretty badly to me... Just got caught to far to windward and couldn't sail low enough to get back in touch.
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.

Cc and le Cam will also be to weather when they come out of this
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.

He just said it would be exciting and that there would be sightseeing. No promises were made re: dry, comfortable, or warm!

Looks like summer might finally be arriving, just in time for the kids to go back to school.
