Cameron 74 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Is it on? If so add Hard Labour to the list Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yep, it's on at this stage. Even if it's a storm, the party will go on, as the entertainment and everything is already paid for, and the prizes. We'll just draw the prizes from a bucket or something. But it will have to be WINDY to stop it, skippers call, you do not have to go, and the responsibility is entirely the skippers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Remember please, if you have not paid, you are not entered!!! Just over 30 boats at this point, quieter this year. All welcome at the party, please come along and support the event. See you there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hi people Forecast is something of a concern this year, MetService is calling the breeze to drop in the evening whilst the PredictWind models have it dropping only slightly but still definite wind warning country well into the evening. To cover the possibility that it will still be strong into the evening and given some boats may have people new to sailing, I've elected to make courses very simple this year. I've also chosen to make the finish line a transit from the tower through the ODM meaning you can finish outside the ODM if you wish. Keep in mind people, as always, it's the skippers decision as to whether to go out sailing or not. My personal advice, if the wind is up, be certain of your decision before leaving. As usual, for those starting last on the short course or first on the long course, if you particularly want to sail the other course, let me know and I'll see what can be arranged. Short Course : 7.6nm: From the start rounding Bean Rock Buoy to starboard finishing in a westerly direction on a transit line from the Westhaven Tower through the ODM. Long Course : 11.4nm: From the start rounding Motukorea Buoy to starboard finishing in a westerly direction on a transit line from the Westhaven Tower through the ODM. The start line is defined as a line from Westhaven tower to the outer distance mark (ODM), the finish line as noted earlier is a line from the Westhaven Tower, through the Outer Distance Mark to a point on the northern side of the harbour. Start times shall be signalled with number boards on the tower and we will endeavour to broadcast each start time on VHF ch77. We expect to coordinate start times using GPS time so starting on your GPS time should work well. Keep in mind people you are sailing under Collregs which do require a higher degree of caution while navigating in close proximity to other vessels. There are also insurance implications so if close to other vessels, throttle back the racing enthusiasm, no one wants a damaged boat just before their Christmas cruise. Apologies to the purists as I know it's not likely to be a tactical or challenging course, especially if I've overestimated the severity of the weather. Any questions, please email me at mmulcare@xtra.co.nz Start times, as at 16:00, Tuesday 17 December : 7.6nm course : 17:59 Crocodile17:59 Serene17:59 Sweathog18:04 Bondi Tram18:05 Flashwave18:06 Duty Free18:06 Cool Change18:07 Legless18:07 Young Magic18:07 Panama Jack18:07 Elliphunk18:09 Ovlov Marine18:10 Carpe Diem18:11 Hawkeye II18:11 Hard Labour18:12 Fast Company18:13 Team Sex18:13 Chain Reaction18:14 Fun-n-Games18:14 Waka18:15 Atomic18:16 Pretty Woman18:16 Motorboat II 11.6nm course : 17:45 Transformer17:45 Atamai17:47 Black Pearl17:47 Extreme17:48 Force Eleven17:59 Knee Deep II18:04 Freedom18:12 Romanza Stay safe people, if you're out enjoy the sail. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron 74 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Funny how the cruising version of the MRX gives them a 2 minute head start! Must be the full fridge and freezer and better stereo that makes the difference! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markm 30 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Been out of the water for a while so I expect this will be the new, much anticipated Farr 1020 Super Sport Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just to confirm anyone who decides not to race, please come to the party starting 7:30pm.... Hope the wind drops this afternoon, currently gusting close to 50..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markm 30 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Very quick note people if any boat wants to change the course they're doing, we can't promise a good start time but we are receptive to requests. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Current conditions are 32 gusting 44 at bean rock. If it is still like that at 4, we'll call it off. Party will still be on.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 74 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Don’t call it too early... forecast is to reduce and the first half is all downwind anyway...giving more time for wind to drop for the bash home. I’m keen to sail even if ending up two handed...might just go out regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Agreed, but people still have to get organized, and I'll make a call soon... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
