Cameron 103 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Is the start line moving from the Northern Leading area this year? Easier for Westhaven boats? THE START 8.1 Races will be started using RRS 26 with the warning signal made 5 (five) minutes before the starting signal. 8.2 The Start line will be in the Waitemata Harbour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think the start line should be moved to just off Gulf Harbour... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Under any level greater than one we were informed that the start had to be performed from on shore or with a very small crew from onboard a start boat. Hence the Waitamata Harbour start line stated in the Notice of Race Now we are in Level one and could end up in zero or even back in level two, it’s our intention to return to Northern Leading as this allows us to avoid shipping movements in the main channel Planning this event under uncertain levels has been challenging to say the least The Sailing Instructions are not out yet as we want to get into as stable as possible position re Covid Levels. Sailing Instructions will take precedents over the NoR. The major change that will effect all from previous years is the starting format, there will only be three starts now at 10 min intervals. The starts will be in reverse order from the past with small boats away first then Shorthaul followed by long haul last. The start line will be longer than previous with the SSANZ buoy laid mid way forming two starting areas (Alfa and Bravo) divisions/classes will be advised of there start area in the SIs. The other significant change is the finish line will be moved from Orakei to Resolution Racing buoy. A decision on finishing the third race in Islington Bay will be made the week prior to this race. These changes are being made to facilitate racing in a difficult time with less exposure and risk to all involved Please work with us to make this the great event it always has been.

Deep Purple 530 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Awesome, grateful we don’t have to sail up the ditch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 530 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 100 Entries today Y88's leading the Piedies 12 to 11.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crump 2 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 With a lone entry in Baltic 1 so far! Was hoping for a bit more life there as I'm planning to be in it next year. There are a heap of cheap older boats people could get in to to start racing there, have those interested just moved on to bigger things? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 268 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Is there a typo in the Notice of Race? Lewmar Doyle Sails Short Course: Start passing Rangitoto Island (starboard), Shearers Rock Buoy (starboard), Haystack (Orapapa) Island, Motuihe Island (starboard), Browns Island (port), Motukorea Buoy (starboard) to the finish (approx. 39nm) Since it does not state which side to leave the Haystack, we can effectively ignore this mark of the course! 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NOR Rule 1.7. If there is a conflict between this document and the Sailing Instructions then the Sailing Instructions will take precedence. Due to the changing times we are living in with Covid we have deliberately left publishing the Sailing Instructions as late as possible as things can change. Another one is the start won’t be in the Waitamata Harbour, but in the usual place in the vicinity of Northern Leading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 268 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Thanks for that. In previous years there was only one combined NOR/SI. Looking forward to the SI's so we can find out where the start and finish lines are, what the starting order is, what colour flag we need to buy, and radio sched details, and what the divisions are.

ex Elly 268 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Regarding Shearer Rock buoy, old charts used to show a round buoy, plus an eastern cardinal mark in the same area. On the latest chart, the round buoy has gone, leaving just the East cardinal mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Cardinal mark is the rounding mark at Shearer Rock only 3 starts 0900 all divisions sailing Baltic course 0910 all divisions sailing PIC course 0920 all divisions sailing Doyle’s course start line will be at Northern Leading finish line will be at Resolution Racing Buoy position reporting will be done by text plus lots more so a good read of the Sailing Instructions, plus attendance at the briefing will be a must. 126 entries so far, don’t miss out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
