Ham 0 Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Based on the boats in Div B last year we definitely don't fit in there, unless they have juggled the ratings around, but Div A will be the TP52's, B will be stacked with the below machines. Div C will hopefully get loaded up with more classic kiwi racers of the 80's and 90's plus the sports boats if you guys want to avoid the actual sports boat division. Will just see how it pans out, last year they shuffled everyone around at the last minute anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We aren’t actually sports boats ...no traps or racks and we have staunchions and lifelines . You beat us comprehensively in the island racing B last year so probably will again if it’s chop with light wind like last time . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 233 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Anyone know Fantail? She's entered in Island Cruising D but looks perfect to join us in W/L's https://www.topyacht.com.au/mt/mt_pub.php?boid=7613&evid=1292 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cool boat but quite a bit slower to windward than most C div boats definitely Div E. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 233 Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 Packed up and ready to roll in the wee hours for Opua. Great fleet in E Division Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 233 Posted January 29 Author Report Share Posted January 29 (edited) We had an awesome time. Light consistent breezes Wednesday gave us 3 reasonable wins. Crazy light conditions Thursday, 2 4ths and a win and big breeze Friday a couple of wins with us skipping the bay race for an early shower and pack up. Really competitive in E Division with most of the fleet having a chance to win. PHRF and Gen Hcp didn't like us so plenty of work to do. Was great to line up on a true windward start with a big fleet. Such a well run event. Picture of us and Sport boat version sister ship animal biscuits Edited January 29 by Deep Purple Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 62 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Quite a few DNFs on the Friday, in the small boats. Must have been windy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 233 Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Elevation broke their rudder in the first race. Repeat Offender crushed their mast step on the way to the start. We show as retired but actually just went home after race 2. Notified race control but message lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
