johnMi 2 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm afraid I will be unable to join you all. My mast came down last week and will not be fixed for Saturday... And I was really looking forward to it as well Link to post Share on other sites
Richard2249 5 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wish I was doing it but going to take the family out to Rakino instead. What's the accepted wisdom for "which way round" with a bit of a nor-wester for this one, I guess do the close hauled stuff in the flatter water through the Waiheke Channel (except there's the beat all the way up the eastern side), and the fun downwind bit on the outside? Tide times look good either way. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 14 starters today, with a good brisk ENE. Seems like quite a few went inside out, but still awaiting first finisher at about 4pm. Results will be at www.dyc.org, but I'll try and get them here earlier for those not from the DYC. Link to post Share on other sites

Changed 10 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 great day for a sail. Good breeze with a nice easy seaway down the south side of Waiheke. Would have helped to be on the line at the same time as the other starters though. Both us and T.Rex were late for the start so it took a while to catch up with the tail enders. Did manage to peg back time on te wind and by the time we came out of the Waiheke Channel we were feeling confident that our down wind speed would see us doing well. As soon as we were able to free sheets the pace increased. Up with the masthead kite and we were off. Some good surfs just over the 12s and holding pretty steady at 9. Big roles at times though as sea built under the stern. Hung on and looking good when .... whoops down goes the nose, up goes the stern and we complete the meanest of gybes. Main held on the runners. Boat lying on its side. Sheet run, runner off and up she comes with the big red flag blowing from the top of the rig. Winch in the brace, pole down by this stage, until we can both get a hold of the sail.Slowly drag it in. A good ten minutes lost. Lost the sheet in the process as the clip must have let go when it was flogging. Tidied up, ran the back-up sheet and decided that fractional was the way to go. Finally got the frac.gennie hoisted as we got to the Motuihe Channel. With the benefit of hind sight we should have yanked the pole down a bit to get control of the roles but when you're enjoying the ride and it feels fast it's hard not to just enjoy it. Luckily no damage and we look forward to the rest of the series. Link to post Share on other sites
Kaihe Atamai 2 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks, DYC for a great race - the run down the N side of Waiheke was spectacular and helped us to catch some boats that were well ahead after Thumb Point. Will results be posted before the Friday prizegiving? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Results should be coming soon, I'll post them here as I get them. Hopefully by the end of the day. All I know so far is that Azure the 1020 took line at about 1632. Good to see the non-DYC boats competing, keep an eye here and on the club website for upcoming events.
