Black Panther 658 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 About 5 boatlengths Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 658 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 So i got interested enough to look at the, chart. Pretty tight. I think i would like to do it in daylight and reasonable weather before tackling it single handed in the dark. Even then I would be paying attention and reserve the right to opt out.

Fish 614 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 It would be 2 handed. And there should be a few dozen other boats out, if you aren't fast enough, they will show you the way. If one suddenly stops moving (or their masthead light lurches forward, then stops) just go on the deep water side of them and you will be fine. The only issue would be if its easterly or SE, then everyone will be tacking up that little narrow channel. What could go wrong? I mean we hardly ever get easterlies, or south easterlies, do we? How many have we had in the last week or so? It is a La Nina year, but we only get north easterlies in La Nina's don't we? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 53 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 I think the Waikato Trailer Yacht Squadron used to race through there in the 100 miler race. Clipper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
