eruptn 110 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hi Guys n Gurls It's time for the annual Alan Civil Classic on Lake Rotoiti, 21 Nov. 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. Div are based on NZTYA quidelines and Ratings https://www.nztya.nz/nztya-ratings.html Looking forward to seeing you all down on our puddle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 530 Posted November 23, 2020 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 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 530 Posted November 23, 2020 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
Panic Knot 6 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Was a great weekend. We had you spotted on the 44Forty in that vid. Sorry we were pushing it and made you a bit nervous. Great first lap with the sports boats with a few changes of lead on the beat back up the lake. When the breeze got up for the last two laps they had slightly longer legs than us downwind. Lots of wind shifts on the lake - we think we did 30+ gybes over the three laps but some really great runs down the lake locking into the breeze. Had one period of sustained 10 mins just sitting on 11-12kts - magic. Last beat home was tough and we're still sporting a few aches and pains. Having a chat to NZTYA about our handicap. Her history is mostly with keelboats and the initial handicap when we got the design approved is definitely way too low. Working to get that sorted asap but handicappers are (understandably) keen to have some data to work with as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No worries mate it looked cool from our perspective ....I’ve had far worse from deano on the golf course , four square court and the friggin netball court back in the Corsair days . we enjoyed the tactical upwind battles on leg 2 and 3 you guys kept us on our toes the whole way .
