Black Panther 1,776 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Where can I find a schedule of events, like what night is the band playing and when are the oldies racing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,776 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Thanks for that. Looks like we have a couple of guests, never been on a boat before but both professional musicians so I'm trying to find stuff that will be of interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 501 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 There are likely to be a few professional musicians on other boats too, we enjoyed their music wafting over the water last year and at tall ships this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 268 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It's on Anniversary weekend. There is a race up on the Friday night. Main day is Saturday 30 Jan. There are various events in the morning at Sullivans Bay (kayaks, dinghies, launches etc). Classic keel yachts race from 1pm. Band plays at Scotts Landing 6pm - 11pm. BYO food and drink. Race back to Auckland Sunday 10:30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not all of us are rich enough to afford extravagant luxuries like a keel Gee KM, we know its taking a while to finish off the reptile, but surely you'd want to put the keel on it before trying to race it again? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 501 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yes big heavy slow 22' boats why those chaps with the interesting hair dos cant see the benefit of the lovely piedies I will never understand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twas fun and we need to do it again as I was telling an ex L and newish PP owner only last evening. Wait, this was a thing? If you do it again, I can think of another 22 class that could muster up a fleet. From memory, not a million miles away performance wise either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,776 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Bumpy wet trip to Mahurangi this morning. Next dumb question: how old qualifies as a classic yacht? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 268 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I guess you are asking on behalf of another vessel as ply boats will never be allowed! However modern classics are 1949-1970, built in wood using traditional methods. e.g. Stewarts, Townsons, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 501 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Ahem ply is in as are glass H's , when did John design her ? As I recall the Doc was building her for a few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 501 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 The big issue for KM is whether he has enough lubricant on board to oil mullet boat muscles that have not been used for 25 years -his ring in crew for the Saturday race, professionals ex Lipton winners ...Year 100 has brought them all back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 501 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Apparently KM needed a bit more "get it up" as I saw him going the wrong way at North Head at about 6 on friday and those keen old Mullet wranglers were crying on Saturday about having no boat to race . Well done to Martin for showing the way on Orion and coming to the party after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
