A query on this weekends course. The SI's show the course as follows

 

    Start Orakei Wharf
    Passing Rangitoto and Motutapu Islands to Starboard
    Motuihe Island to Port
    Motuihe yellow buoy to Port
    Passage Rock to Starboard
    Finishing Orakei Wharf

 

Where it says "Motuihe yellow buoy to Port" is this the buoy BBYC refers to as "Sergeant channel Yellow Buoy" or is this Browns Is. Navy buoy like previous Spring regattas? It seems a bit odd to reference the Sergeant Channel buoy after referencing Motuihe Island to Port where the next destination is Passage Rock. Am I missing something?

 

I'd hate to sail the wrong course :?

Just about to stick Mercenarys entry in for the series. Any other small boats coming out to play? Judging by Simrad it should be a good tussle between us and T-Rex. What about the 930's etc? Toles you coming along?

Can someone please post the gps co-ords for the "Motuihe yellow buoy" we are to round to port. From the other "spring regatta" thread it was stated that it is the "Sergent Channel" marker from this site:

http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/Site ... itions.pdf

 

If it is, then we are into one of these situations where people start arguing about what would happen if we had a piece of string stretched around the course and would it touch each bouy etc (we had an issue with this a BBYC a while ago). I think the proper way to do it, if that were the mark would be to go out of your way and loop round the mark and then head on your way to passage Rk.

 

Can we have some clarification please?

This is what I have received:

 

The Spring Regatta is a Richmond YC race and the first Gold Cup race is run by RYC as part of our Spring Regatta.

RYC calls the yellow racing buoy located at 36 49 300S 174 57 400E 'Motuihe Buoy'. YES it is the same buoy that the Harbour Master calls "Sargeant Channel Buoy'

 

This will go into an official email to all entrants today.
