The wind forecast was 15 Knts W going SW and building in the afternoon. Ideal for the first teams racing event of 2007.

Good and bad news. The good news is that we have enough signed up for 5 teams.

Fine weather with 8-10 SE predicted so looks like a good day coming up, but bring the winter woollies. Format: Meet at BPP approx 9.30 for set up Briefing: 10 am We have 8 teams.

Well it's all over. The predicted wind didn't arrive so everyone had 5.5s up and those without them borrowed from other competitors. We used a short course and only one match race at a time.

Hi, thanks to the Auks for another great day. I have a vacancy for a crew member, on a lotus 10.6 ,from Port Vila back to NZ ,on or about the 26/​9/​09.

Great wind, probably 17 - 18 knts with some gusts over 20. Everyone sailed 3 metres to start with one change to a 2 metre as the wind rose later in the afternoon.

Does this mean I have to redo the Auckland teams to stack a couple to maintain our winning edge? Ok noted.

Todd can you leave my mast top at the shop mate, will try to swing by before weekend as I maybe able to race this week ... well hoping! Muz

Yo Cameron, Hey you're most welcome to borrow my 5.5 and ultras but you'll need to come and grab it some time today as i'm off to Fiji in the morning. Winter time = holiday time!

Todd Hume 24 June 2009 10:44

So are there any spare 5.5's lying around anywhere for a new heavyweight to borrow if the wind is light for the NI Champs? Baby on the way means purchasing one brand new is out of range at the moment.

The Teams racing results were VERY close, which shows that everyone is in with a chance.

Yesterday's team racing was a great event. Thanks to Russell and the committee and especially the timekeepers without whom it would not be an event. Thanks also to the food organisers.

Bill Dickson 22 June 2009 08:35

 A great day! From the Bay Blockheads team, many thanks ABC for yet another successful event. Yes the wind was light, but that's just part of Blokart racing. Teams racing is here to stay, I'm sure.

Hi Russel,

Garry Ingram 21 June 2009 19:55

Looking better all the time with wind now going SW which is ideal for our longer course.

smokin' blokarter 20 June 2009 17:23

Wind is looking a bit better, up to 15 knts predicted from the South. Could be cold! I have sent rules out direct to each team.

smokin' blokarter 19 June 2009 12:55

Russell, Or maybe just hock your cart?

smokin' blokarter 18 June 2009 09:29

Teams racing today. Meet by 11.30, briefing at 12, racing to start 12.15. Looks like reasonable wind, maybe a shower or two. $5 per person entry. regards Russell

To BBC,

Don McKenzie 31 March 2007 17:47

Looks like it could be on. Rain is now down to showers and predicted to get wind NW 12+ knts maybe swinging W and dropping a bit in the afternoon.

smokin' blokarter 31 March 2007 08:31

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

Be keen to hear about your "team tactics". Sounds serious. I might have to get the Auckland team leader, "hotdog Hales" to arrange our own team practice sessions.

Hi, Marg took a heap of photos last weekend down at the NZ Open, mostly of the Auckland team.

Originally sent by: Russell Tides are not great for the weekend.

Richard Blokart NZ Egroup Manager 30 November 2006 01:00

Originally sent by: Russell The morning was wet, the forecast was for gales, but the sun came through and the wind was light picking up at times to about 10 knts.
