MrWolf 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 With no club allegiance and an Entry fee of only $25 this has traditionally been the best attended Multi race on the calendar after the Coastal. Around 25-30 boats is what we are aiming at. If you have a multi capable of sailing around Waiheke you should be looking to sail ! Its a great race. Timberwolf will be there, with the most talented Female multihull sailor in NZ aboard. Link to post Share on other sites

Megwyn 2 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Would love to do this race. Have encountered a wee problem. Contacted YNZ to see if the Elliott has been registered, it it turns out she hasn't. The form I have been sent to fill out requires lots of information that I cannot supply. So it looks like we will never be entering the 'real' races. Hoping to do the shortened 100 miler tho Ms Link to post Share on other sites
