Topic: bunch

Hi, I turned up to run the race and was surprised at the number of entries. The beach was full of blokarters hooning around getting ready for the start and the surf looked...

Grant, It was 20 f (-5c) Wind was generally 20 mph with gusts to 30. The guys were doing 30 mph (by Sean's GPS) Could have gone much faster but the snow was a little deeper then...

As requested here are some views from the rest of the fleet – in this case "the rear". This really is a sad sack storey.

Originally sent by: Russell A good wind, a mixture of 3 and 4 metre sails racing together and some close results ended the Twilight pre-Xmas series.

Well well!!!! I was waiting for It Dave and you did very well thanks heaps!!!!! For some time now I have been thinking you needed a fellow member of you very exclusive fishing...

8–9 knts of breeze to start, a bit of a lull at one stage and then came in about 10 knts for a while before petering out about 3.15.

Hi Dave, Haydn's time was 2 hours 37 min. Graham was 30 sec. behind and the next bunch of 4 about 80 seconds back. So over 100 km not a huge difference. Last years time was 2.53.

I agree with you Brian, But hey, the clubs are not such a bad thing and the costs are not too bad. Twenty to Forty bucks a year gives you a bunch of people to blast around...

Actually Bruce the race day is the same day. If we get a bunch to travel then could change it or otherwise I had planned to make this a beach event if the wind is right as tides...

Hey Russell there are a bunch of us coming up from The Bay PB

Mike – fantastic footage! What I can’t believe is that you have this place to yourselves. Oh how I wish we had a spot like that.

Originally sent by: Barry Gartner I agree here we need to support these guys as they do support us and are a good bunch of people.

Good to hear you are eating the most important meal of the day; shame on you that it is not Nutri-Grian: )!!

Interesting comments Paul. If the wind looked good I'd cancel BPP and bring down NZs top sailors to have a go and bring back the silverware.

Originally sent by: Don McKenzie Hey Guys, You need back-up!!! Please, all of you, pay your boat club fees at the Boat Club. I think it is $15pa, they are a great bunch.

Forty odd Team ABC members gathered at the Thai Flame last night for the prize giving for the Winter Series.

Yes there will be practise time available definitely Thursday and even slotted in for Tuesday, Wednesday also.

So you see it wasn’t just Russell being faster then me (but it does help) after all – 2m does rule! At least in a long drag race anyway. 400m loop, and I’m not so sure.
