Details can be found on https://www.boptys.net/regattas Due to the interest from the Sports Boats we are setting up a Sport Boat Div. (amendeded NOR and Sailing Instructions to follow) Big boats (A Div, multi and Sport boats) do 3 laps of the lake Middle size (B Div) do 2 laps Small size (C Div) do 1 lap Note as per the new vision from the NZTYA the oversize trailerable yachts like the N30 and Farr940 are also welcome.

Deep Purple 219 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks guys, had a great time. It's been a very nervous few weeks having no idea how we're doing in the boat. Beating the local mixed Keeler fleet by 10 minutes an hour doesn't prove much. Anyways she seemed to go okay. My son Matty said on the 2nd beat "sh*t this boat's fast, we're sailing like bunnies and it's still ahead" Prick We had our moments. Great location, great course, basically a 7.5 mile windward leeward and a good friendly bunch. Sorry we didn't hang at the club much, Friday was my birthday and Saturday we were shattered. See you next year Island Time and 44forty 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 219 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 That Panic Knot was really fast. 15 minutes in front of Elevation which gave it 31 minutes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 829 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Ah ha, that explains why I was seeing sporties heading up SH1 on Sunday. 99% sure one was you 44, there can't be that many speeders that colour up north. We crossed paths around Ta Hana. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
