Gutted that you didn't post that earlier. When do you get to drink and how many behind am I?

 

The catch up was meant re calculator vs computer, relatively behind on the other front. Quite frequently given that none of our models are working.

 

Is that an overlap?

Is the finish inside or outside the reef ?? - It can get light inside come night fall, Tacking a multi thru the gap in light air could be fun.

Of course that counts for nothin if the finish is outside

The finish is a line between two nav marks on each side of the channel, so basically the finish is inside the reef (just), close enough to make you pay attention in the dark. :lol:

trying to remember this much interest (on line) in an offshore race. The VB v Camper duel, no doubt, being the drawcard.

The boys on Voda must have had an anxious day which they will no doubt enjoy in the bar!

TeamVodafoneSailing beats Camper to ocean race record

 

TeamVodafoneSailing have secured line honours in the New Zealand International Yachting Trust Auckland to Musket Cove Ocean Race, and earned a place in the record books.

 

The Orma 60 crossed the finish line at approximately 1920hrs today, more than 18 hours ahead of the record of 120hrs 21mins 45secs set by Systems Thunder in 2008.

 

The Emirates Team New Zealand Volvo 70, Camper, finished shortly afterwards.

 

TeamVodafoneSailing is the first finisher in the Multihull Division, and also finished ahead of all boats in the Racing Division for keelboats.

 

Times and results will be verified by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron soon, and a more detailed report from TeamVodafoneSailing will follow.

 

The nine sailors onboard TeamVodafoneSailing include Owner and Skipper Simon Hull, Boat Captain Kevin Peet, Navigator Patrick O'Reilly, Paul (Casper) Murray, Stu (Disco) MacKinven, Ollie Scott-Mackie, Selby Howard, Paul O'Reilly, and Guy Hewson.

Fiji is the boat’s first stop in an offshore calendar that will take in the Sydney to Gold Coast Race, the RQYC Brisbane to Keppel Race, the Airlie Beach Race Week, and Hamilton Island Race Week, before TeamVodafoneSailing returns to New Zealand for the Coastal Classic and the New Zealand summer racing season.

TeamVodafoneSailing is also supported by Line 7, Predictwind.com, Seatrade, Fusion, Harken, Fineline, B&G, Steinlager, Safety at Sea and Wilde Media.

Watch TeamVodafoneSailing's Facebook page, the PredictWind.com tracker, and www.rnzys.org.nz, for up to date coverage.
