Clipper

Recommended Posts

Its not an easy decision seen as how we are entered in the Commodores Cup but Timberwolf is sailing the Round Waiheke.

 

 

Look out for the guest crew fresh from Offender and Meltdown duty.

No one will be going anywhere unless the forecast improves a lot!

what a magic days sailing. round in 3hrs. they sent us around anticlockwise so we had some fantastic reaching and a decent beat to the finish when the wind had filled in.

who won?

I saw you all start, I guess you and triple8 had trouble with wind to get to the start.

 

 

Yeah I wonder who did win.

 

I'm pretty sure Superbird will clean up, they weren't very far behind at all.

 

What an absolutely fantastic day that was. We had a really good race against Taeping and 888 right up til we had to go Upwind in a nasty chop in Seargents Passage.

We smoked it down the back of Waiheke with our zero on. 90 degrees True in 12-15 knots is right on the limit !

 

really great fun

Funniest start I've ever officiated at.

S to Cruz was off looking at the clubhouse and TWolf was the only one on the line. I tried 10 times to radio TWolf and S to C to ask if they minded waiting for the rest of the fleet but as I couldn't raise them I decided it was fairer to start the boats that had bothered to turn up on time. Pity really, I almost blew it up citing a clock failure or something. Perhaps I should have???
