Battleship 100 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If anyone knows of a berth that will be available next wednesday drop me a line. Called the westhaven office but nothing available at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 79 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Have you tried Bayswater? as an option Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 No last time I rang them (admittedly a few years ago now) they were less than friendly. I'm sure we could go on the pile moorings as a last resort. Are they still there? Link to post Share on other sites
johnMi 2 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The weather could be quite good i think Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 When and where is the start I may be around to watch Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 79 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 The start is from the Squadron starting box across to a buoy approx at right angles to the course down the harbour. Due to start on Thursday 2nd April at 10.00 am. Look out for Vodafone who will be trying to get the race record which has eluded them so far. Anarchy will be out there, too, so how they do will be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Outgoing tide so I guess most likely to go out the Motuihe channel? Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 330 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I will be on Ran Tan for this one. Looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 79 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 good to see Ran Tan out there, too, and with Booboo aboard it will be competitive. In some wind conditions boats have the choice of Rangi channel as well as Motuihe as the Rangi route avoids the wind shadow effect, it can be quite a challenge in that decision.

broadoak 0 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Will they be using trackers so we can follow their progress? Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 79 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Predictwind tracking will be used by most vessels, it made interesting viewing for the last two races. Great for the support personnel following the race. Link to post Share on other sites
broadoak 0 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thank you. Looking forward to it Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 79 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 It looks like it will be light and challenging to start with, the first big decision is whether to pick the Rangi channel or Motuihe Passage going by Predictwind. That will sort the men out from the boys for a start. Here is an image from 2013. Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 530 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Vodafone just pulled out. Zana and Sundreamer's records remain for another year Link to post Share on other sites
Boatworks 25 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Interesting that there are 2 Frenzy trackers showing, sailing slightly different courses.....but presumably on the same boat and polling at different times... Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 79 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 It would have been interesting if one Frenzy went through Motuihe Channel and the other through Rangi. I hope the wind starts to kick in soon. Anyone know the wind at Channel Is? Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 267 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 According to the tracker, Force 11 is in the lead. Ahead of Anarchy and Formula One. Good going! Link to post Share on other sites
