Changed 8 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Relapse looking the best at the moment. Good to out a bit. Gets really patchy between Bare Island and the Cape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chariot 157 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Anyone have any idea when the results of the 3rd leg are going to be posted on the SSANZ website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 65 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Yes they were holding back, maybe they were waiting for the prizegiving? Some of the smaller boats did well on that leg: Distraction and Moving Violation. And Wired has finally won a leg for their division, but the overall winner was Laissez-faire.

ex Elly 65 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Leg 4 looking quick. CU Later had an issue with their instruments, so started 3 hours late. The fast boats are round East Cape and now having a good downwind hoon. Looks like Clockwork has made an error by heading west into the wind hole, others keeping well offshore, Mr Kite maybe too far out? The slower boats struggling in lighter breeze reach to get to the cape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chariot 157 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 What has happened to Motoboat today. Do they have a problem. Speed seems to be down compared to other boats around them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 65 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Nothing too major I think. Looks like they have slowed a little after Cape Colville. Serena have rolled them,GaleForce and HigherGround gained a bit, Biggest winner appears to be Waka who must have been flying downwind, and went out very wide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 172 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Nothing happened to us on motorboat other than getting caught in some very light winds. Titanium who were just in front at colville managed to lay across the gulf in good breeze while we had only 5kts from right behind us. A 16nm lead turned into 4nm by the time the others brought the wind down to us. Serena is just much faster than us vmg running in light winds which is why they passed us quickly. Was a very frustrating day for us. Leg 3 and 4 ended the same with the boats behind bringing the breeze down to us while we could do nothing but wait.... That's sailing for ya. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 807 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Well, some of us followed you all on the tracker, as that's the best we could do. Seemed like a mentally tough race with all the calms and holes. Well done to all boats and crews, RNI is not an easy event, NZ coast is a tough place to sail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't half make you feel sick when you watch that happen all around you. Well done to all participants. It's a tough race. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
