ScottiE 173 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 my finest boat trailer backing moment(s) - backing each 9.5m hull down this driveway. Adrianp and Clipper 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ham 0 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hey guys Hamish from Frenzy here, we are very keen to get Racing C / Division 3 going again. Would be great to have a good fleet of keen racers who dont have the boats to be competitive with the likes of Anarchy and Ice Breaker but have the same competitive drive and attitudes. Think 80’s & 90’s Anarchy’s and Ice Breakers of their day and perhaps more modern but smaller boats. I have spoken with a BOI sailing week committee member who is also motivated to bring the division back as they recognise they do have a problem with the volume of boats in the island racing divisions, if you participated last year this was very evident. We have floated the idea of 1 windward leeward + an island race each day as we didn’t want people scared off by the prospect of 3 windward leewards. How ever I think all involved are keen to do what ever the majority wants and what is needed to get it going! One big thing it is going to take is getting people on board and registered early to show commitment. We are based in Tauranga so don’t have contact with the other potential participants. Hopefully this thread and the Auckland racers can get some good chat going and get people pumped for some good close racing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also emailed them yesterday regarding bringing back div C and know of another 3 boats as well as deep purples 3 that would fit in Div C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Young Entertainer 11 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Keeping a watching eye on this one, have done island racing the last few years but might be keen for a windward leeward per day to mix it up Deep Purple 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 218 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Bay Week entries are open so the sooner we get your entries in the sooner they can confirm Division C W/L's https://www.topyacht.com.au/db/kb/series_select.php?EventID=1292 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At .8650 you may struggle to get into Division 3 depending on entries across the fleet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
