Christmas Regatta

[Nutta]

These boats have shown that there is scope for actual racing to accidentally break out. Imagine them on a bigger, unrestricted course, in races that last longer than an hour...

The joy of “stadium” races. Pricks in boats can get too fucking close and fuck up thing they are  trying to watch.

Some of those boats were out there fishing and don't give a shyte about sail boats.  Law of the sea.  Beautiful day in Auckland so anyone who has a boat will be on the water.

Well, to be fair they changed the course because of wind shifts.  So technically they were gathered around the original course boundaries.

"You guys need to move" neh. Make me - typical Kiwi's lol

I'd love to see these on a DOG course. So fast that it would be the perfect length race.

Love the big power that's moving, but in reverse and with the snakewake

About 1.5 hours maybe?

 

[Enzedel92]

This is an embarrassment.

Shirlie blown away by the lack of awareness on the spectator boats..! Fire a warning shot over their bows.! FFS

Yeah that's what I was thinking. That's the one thing I didn't like about everything ENTZ has done is retain the stadium bullshit.

 

[Enzedel92]

Great so now we only get half the races today because of the stupid ass spectators

 

[Horn Rock]

Breeze getting up. AM will be happy.

 

[The_Alchemist]

It is not going to be pretty.  You have these large boats backing up then getting in front of some smaller boat that has been in the right space all the time.  I would be throwing all the beer bottles (empty of course, an incentive to drink quicker) at those big boats.

Dean Barker has been swearing live and they've had to apologize for that..! I say get him back on live. Race Start 4.20 apparently?

 

[Nutta]

Good to go... apparentlyh at 4:20pm

 

[NZL4EVER]

420 spark it up....

This is an embarrassment.

It is.  You'd think a couple of Police launches cruising along with sirens blaring and a very loud loudspeaker "GET BACK. $1,000 Fine Per Person!" ....  could fix the problem?

wanna bet?
