Tiller 2 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 whose doing It, any boats my size? and what cat. is it .Do you need a phrf? or just general handicap. Link to post Share on other sites
Adrianp 120 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We had a great Race in High'n'fibre (Vickers 7m) last year and I'm gutted I can't do it again this year in her as I sold her. It was light airs and took us 14 hours-ish but we finished 5th on line and first on handicap. It's normally Cat 4 + liferaft/Dinghy and lifelines. Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 In prior years, PHRF is not required, presume it's the same this year. Link to post Share on other sites
Tiller 2 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 my boat is a dinghy, anyway where would I carry one. The boat is fully buoyant. Lifelines even thou harnessed on. Link to post Share on other sites
Kaihe Atamai 2 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Route 66 NOR is in the works - should be Cat4+ as mentioned above. Liferaft or dinghy,ready to go, is part. Would think a liferaft hire/borrow would be best for tackhammer... The race will include a singlehanded division again. The race usually gets a decent showing from smaller boats - elliot 770, 727s, Ross 830. You'd be the first half cat/half mono! Link to post Share on other sites
Tiller 2 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 shes a scow a bit of a test bed. Each time she sails a change has taken place. Just about finished the latest one. she started at 6.5 now 6.9mt. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Do the single handers start at a different time? Before or after? Link to post Share on other sites
Kaihe Atamai 2 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Do the single handers start at a different time? Before or after? Started at the same time but on an extension of the line last year (outside ODM)... don't know the final word this year. Link to post Share on other sites

Kaihe Atamai 2 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 And is there a start from GH? Have not heard yet... Route66 starts in AKL. Solo race is a Route 66 division. Link to post Share on other sites
Kaihe Atamai 2 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Wild Oats will be doing it, just not sure if crewed or solo yet Solo! Solo! Solo! Link to post Share on other sites

Now what an awesome idea, a class of solo 930s. I'll be doing it solo on TBT, come on Wild Oats! Entertainer needs a push in the right direction too. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Solo it is Link to post Share on other sites
S+S24 0 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Any idea when entries can be submitted? Tramper will be there solo. Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm considering it as well - solo. More as an excuse to go for a sail, than a serious race. Island Time is not ready for a real race at the moment. Needs antifouling, a new Main, a new headsail, and quite a long list of stuff before being A1 again.... Working on that, but it'll be a while.

Kaihe Atamai 2 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Any idea when entries can be submitted? Tramper will be there solo. NOR and EF should be on the RYC website by end of next week. I'll update the forum when they are up. And good on ya for the solo entry... Link to post Share on other sites

This is one of the biggest singlehanded races organised in NZ, don't miss out - we expect a strong fleet this year!* NOR: http://richmondyc.org.nz/wp-content/upl ...

Last year the singlehanded division AND the overall race handicap prize was taken out by Trish Lewis' in her 25 ft Reactor Wishbone... Link to post Share on other sites
