BelowPAR 0 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Man i hope thats all true. I have an old picture on my wall, Ceramco setting off, big red star kite in the centre of the 2m by 40 cm photo. It would be quicker to measure the surface area of deep green than count how many boats are out. Literally thousands. Who cares that its a 9 month, mostly boring race - It would still be fully awesome to see half that many boats following a couple of NZ boats out. Fingers Crossed huh!

Adrianp 120 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 On a side note: My father-in-law just brought a fizz boat from a storage yard in Tauranga. In this yard was Outward Bound all nicely covered up. I Wonder what has happend to alot of these old boats Link to post Share on other sites
Absolution 7 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 On a side note: My father-in-law just brought a fizz boat from a storage yard in Tauranga. In this yard was Outward Bound all nicely covered up. I Wonder what has happend to alot of these old boats I bought a spinnaker off the guy who owns Outward Bound now, I think he was using it for cruising. The kite is one of the BNZ logo kites from KZ-7 although it now has Outward Bound's sail number. I am still waiting for the right occasion to put it up.

Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 From Valencia Sailing Team New Zealand and Real Club Nautico Palma to enter 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race According to the Spanish sailing website Gaceta Nautica, based in Palma de Mallorca, it appears that Team New Zealand and the Real Club Nautico Palma will enter the 2011-12 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race, joining their forces with the financial backing of the Spanish footwear company Camper, also based in Palma. Always according to the same article, the final agreement was signed in Spain on Wednesday and the joint Kiwi-Spanish project will be presented in a press conference next Monday in Palma. more here http://valenciasailing.blogspot.com/201 ... -club.html Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Is it true the NZ entry, sponsored by an Arab airline and a Spanish shoemaker is to have an Aussie skipper? Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Is it true the NZ entry, sponsored by an Arab airline and a Spanish shoemaker is to have an Aussie skipper? If it’s flying under the flag of a Spanish club then surely it’s a Spanish entry. The boat just happens to be owned by a private syndicate domiciled in NZ. Link to post Share on other sites
El Toro 97 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Pretty sure its flying RNZYS colours as well as a spanish club Link to post Share on other sites
