Looks like we're smokin' on Mailspaces too. After missing the migration from Smartgroups I've managed to connect without having to resort to a 4m + CRB!

Auckland Thursday night

smokin' blokarter Friday, 8 December 2006 16:27
A good night for sailing, enough wind to lift onto two wheels although the super heavies might have wanted a bit more. John and Haydn (with new blokart and speed to burn) dominated the top places but also a win for Wayne O in the first race and a win for Nicholas in the last race after leading from start to finish with Haydn closing the gap to 2 seconds at the end.
With a steady wind for the 6 races and  covering 4 laps (10 - 12 minutes) the results should be fair for all and the handicap section will be in doubt until the computer has finished spitting out the results. Everyone gets to drop 6 races so this will alter things, especially for those who missed a whole night.
Results to be posted over the weekend.
Looks like a nice day on Sunday with a steady breeze of about 12 - 15 knts for the ladies have a go day. See you at the park around 1 pm, bring your food and drink for the barbeque.

Surely Grant,
 
Some of us SFB have little choice but to revert to CRB's and 4 meter sails. Hopefully you shared my pain at having to spend the best part of several races at the NZ Open Super Heavyweight Class 'wheelchairing' around the course in order to finish.

This will be the last night of the twilight race series if the wind holds up. It's predicted to be rising to 15 knts this afternoon which is idea. We have 26 races so far and need another 4 to finish off. I hope everyone has looked at bearings after last weeks blast at the beach. Next week we might have a self handicapping points night for something different or maybe some OPTN challenges. Meet tonight 5 - 5.30, briefing about 5.50 and racing to start at 6. See you there.

Many thanks on behalf of the sailors in the Twlight series Russell for organising and recording the latest series.  We wait with baited breath to see whether you can beat Haydn in his new "faster" kart next time (when you get to sail again) - or are cream buns and pies on the menu so we have to do battle  with you in the heavyweights forever more.  Perhaps the prize for winning the Scratch class is you have to run the next round! A new form of self handicapping?  Did news get out before the last race Haydn?

Some fabulous battles on the track last night and a few run-away tyres to dodge too!

 

Cheers
