Panic Knot 3 Posted November 24, 2020 Report 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

Tucked away safe and sound until next time we’re in the same place to enjoy it (I’m in Wellington and crew are in Auckland) Thanks for giving it to us. Much appreciated and looking forward till next time we meet. 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 .
