smithy09 50 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Gold cup race completed yesterday. This was a 40 odd mile passage race around Waiheke island, through Rakino channel, then home. Not so many mistakes this race. We paced Georgia One and Lawless for a while, especially in the light and kept Urban Cowboy at bay right until the finish line where we spun the Marshall out in a 30 knot puff with the MH kite in the water and both Smithy and Phil taking a swim. Scary stuff, but a difficult finish line where the kite has to be dropped 2 handed and the distance to the breakwater is only 50 metres.. Drop it early, or risk the boat! It was looking like "Samurai Drop" time for a few minutes... Epic racing with sister ship Urban Cowboy right to the end... As can be seen, they had their own problems, and we thought we had them beaten at that stage, but nek minute!! Doh! Thanks for the Rumbos Urban crew! Great mothership you have!

smithy09 50 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 More work on the Marshall. First, clean up the electrical wiring nightmare hiding behind the switch panel. Then try out the new FRO from Norths. Fits a treat! Getting through the list! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 So we're pretty much all set for RNI which starts on Saturday 2pm. Safety check - done job list - down to about 5 items Crew - kind of ready Looks light for the first leg which will suit us well. Going to try for a couple of sail check sails on Thursday and Friday just to see if anything jumps out at us. Here We go !!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
