Guest Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have been wanting to be apart of this race for the last 2 years but never found a boat to sail on. I would love be jump on a boat and finally do the race. I have had experiences on boats ranging from cruisers, sport boats and multis. Link to post Share on other sites

Murky 1 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 So much to learn young Grasshopper. This far out from the event, every owner believes all their regulars will turn out for the race, and all those crew members believe they will get the time off work, their wives will give them a leave pass for the weekend, they (and their kids) will be in perfect health and basically nothing can get in the way of that fantastic race. Unfortunately at least 10% of them are destined to discover that they were wrong in their beliefs. It's just a bit soon yet for that fact to have emerged. Pack your bag, clear your schedule and by the Tuesday or Wednesday night leading up to the race, a different picture will be starting to emerge. You should keep this thread high in the active topics during that week. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 So much to learn young Grasshopper. You should keep this thread high in the active topics during that week. Thats the plan. Keep it near the top for the rest of the month then mabey even dpread out into some of the other forums. I wonder if I could pay squid off to put a notice on the front page Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Easy, all I want is lots of reports from the racetrack during the race. Maybe we should start a separate thread in this forum just for the CC? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 mmmmmmmm cc's. Now theres some corn chips that I hvant had in a long time, and they were so good. Ill be happy to give you updates and a report afterwards, but the updates would have to be via text as im not up to date yet with these smart phones . A new thread could be useful as im sure there will be a few more people posting about it shortly. Link to post Share on other sites

benny14 6 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 What boat? I got on the marshall Should be a good race... I'm going on O'Sinnerman, looks like it has the same handicap as the Marshall... Could be interesting... Link to post Share on other sites

Could be interesting... Hopefully. Smithy has an idea on who his competition is, but I wouldnt have a clue. Ive only sailed sport boats and multis and not the 40 footers.

Guest Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Smithy is fixated on beating Kiwi. I think if Kiwi went via the Mercs he'd follow And for this race you are fully crewed so get someone to double check the halyards before the hoist Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 And for this race you are fully crewed so get someone to double check the halyards before the hoist I have know idea what your talkin about so im happy . as long as im not on the bow then there should be a good chance that i wont happen.

Guest Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Last race of Simrad, Smithy got the mast head halyard inside the forestay, kite stopped at the hounds, bottom in the water, we sailed the boat through the kite. Soooooo glad it wasn't me. I hear Booboo was ablwe to put it back together without too much drama. Hope for your sake you get a screaming ride, that boat is amazing, as the breeze increases it just keeps accelerating. Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't seen Kiwi entered yet and yes we have the same phrf as O Sinnerman which is a 17 metre yacht... Go figure! Letter to YNZ sent.... Link to post Share on other sites
