Marshy 30 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Alright how long does everyone think? Maybe squid can put a bottle of Rum on for the closest time? Let the sh*t talk begin, how fast are you really? State boat name, Division and Estimated time Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Energy Small Boat course (traded down from shorthaul sportsboat, sorry KM you dont get to watch us wipeout) 13:47 see you at Swashies. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 7hr 15min +/- 15mins. 9 or 10th on line. Been some crew changes in some of the boats so a tad tricker to pin down this year. A few places back from line position for our H/C position. We have Binos and spys embedded in each Div EE, you will be watched Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 EnergySmall Boat course (traded down from shorthaul sportsboat, sorry KM you dont get to watch us wipeout) 13:47 see you at Swashies. Guess someone needs to win on line if you want to race with the slow(er) boats! With Energy having a PHRF of .715 I didn't think you could enter the small boat div....? I'm picking a finish closer to 3.30-4pm for us! Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 My Rough maths has us at just under 7 hours, Looks like a pretty good course for a 930 with a comfortable lay back from Passage rock to Motuhie which will be a waterline drag race Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 and the rules say.... ...Small keelboats and Trailer Sailers normally expected to have a PHRF of below 0.700 or those that regularly race with the Up to 26’ Club. Most of the 7.4s sail on 0.690 so its reasonable to assume that another Elliott 7.4 like Energy would normally have a PHRF of 0.690. Energy is 26 foot and has raced regularly with the upto26foot club in the past and in the small-boat division with SSANZ bar last year when we did the first race only in Shorthaul Sportsboat. BTW Toles, our Shorthanded TCF is 0.705 which includes the masthead gear, if its really blowing we promise not to use the 60sqm masthead kite so we are the same as every other E7.4, I'm not going to run out and get a new PHRF based on fractional only kites for 0.005. Look back a year or two and you will find E7.4s, 770's etc at up to 0.740 sailing in small boat. See you tonite Link to post Share on other sites

TimW 1 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 This competition is a great idea it just really needs Squid to find it worthy of a bottle of rum otherwise its just pissing into the wind. Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Agreed, think Squid might actually be at work? Scarey stuff this real world Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Moneyshot Superboat Division 6.30 Hours so finishing about 4pm! Right on Rum time! Link to post Share on other sites

Just had never seen you out with the U26 and figured you were faster than that My Money is on you to take the Smallboat 1 line then......No pressure to perform now! SJ will be racing in with the 727's as a 1/4 ton div- so long as the request has been accepted by SSANZ. Either way will do my best to chase you round the course! Will definately see ya later tonight- My round. Toles. Link to post Share on other sites

Given my crew hasn't sailed on the boat for more than 30mins, in under 5 knots of breeze, and we have a few new bits to try out, and the forecast is for some breeze, I'd be stoked if you are only 1second in front.
