Guest Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Entries are still open, we're approaching 40. Link to post Share on other sites
chic014 0 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 What's the latest entries can be in? We lost a blade of the propeller last Wednesday and at it's hopefully getting made now, and back on the boat on Wednesday morning if all goes to plan. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 It's all up to Mark as he has to have the handicaps ready to publish here by say Wed midday at the latest, probably should have them in by tomorrow night, in your case we'd try to accommodate. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Has anyone picked up the ladies who are looking for a ride? Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Okay, entries : Would prefer entries to be in by Tuesday night. Can handle entries on Wednesday but may not be free from work and be able to notify people of their start times until about 4pm so if you don't have access to email/web later Wednesday or leave a mobile number I can txt it probably wouldn't be such a good idea to leave it til the last minute. If you don't know one way or the other whether you're racing, would suggest putting in an entry now and doing a bank transfer if you decide to go. Much easier to handle 'maybes' that way than try to communicate times to people at the last minute. Race course, will decide on this tomorrow night and notify all by email and of course post it here. If anyone has any stunning insights on the weather, let's know. Forecasts I'm seeing are varying between 10kt east which isn't too bad and nothing from everywhere so I'm thinking pretty short courses, maybe 6.5 (short course) and 8.5 (long course).

Guest Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Latest entry is a Weta with a threat to bring a few more along!!!!!!1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hey Matty - what about showing off the turbo'ed PT?It looks like it will be light enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 A quick show of hands - it's going to be lightish and Tim W has brought this up in th epast, Do the multis want to use screechers as long as you all behave in a gentlemanly fashion and don't crash into anyone? I have said yes to the Weta fleet, then thought maybe this would suit the rest of you. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Of course maek will adjust your handicaps accordingly, but it might be more fun fo ryou. Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 not being a smart arse here, but why only allow screechers, not kites? I don't know that all the fleet has screechers, and personally, if there is much breeze, I prefer a kite. Screechers scare me. I'd be happy with extras, but not if limited to screechers.

Guest Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ummmm - I said screechers coz that was what I remember Tim asking about some time ago - if it gets all to difficult we'll drop it, remember it's a fun race and the idea is not to break anything. Link to post Share on other sites
