Simrad 60 Race Report 2011
Simrad 60
The day started in heavy fog and no wind, motoring out to the start line we were met by a container ship which loomed out of the fog, a hard right at full throttle saw us clear. SSANZ chose to delay the start and wait for the wind. 2 and half hours later we started in light wind ( we weren’t to happy about this because it meant a later finish), I saw Pepe unrolling their code zero on the start line and thought why don’t we have our code zero ready to go, weve had enough time to prepare (my first stuff up of the day), any way we got that up as soon as possible and it turned out to be the ideal sail for the first leg to Gannet. Just after the Motihuie channel, a hole opened up near the rear end of the fleet and we were one of the victims, however, rush and big bikkies fared worse than us as the code 0 creating its own apparent wind gave us an edge, the majority of the fleet however had got the jump on us, from then on it was good sailing with the code 0 until a wind change meant we couldn’t lay Gannet, and we decided to drop it so we could point higher (I actually dot think we were pointing much higher), quite a few boats tacked over but we held our course, and remarkably the wind changed back, we scraped inside Durville rock and could now lay Gannet rock, the code 0 was back up, and it felt like we were clawing our way back into this. After rounding Gannet we put up the masthead kite, and on this leg the winds lightened off again, two boats rounded gannet a fair way behind us. Another wind change meant we were unable to lay Navy buoy with the kite, the shape of the masthead is not good for sailing that shy, with the winds so light the big blue gennaker looked like the go, my turn to make the change and I ballsed it up badly. The gennaker ended up in the drink, and when Bill tried to retrieve it, it ripped across the bottom, so we went back to the code 0, one of the boats behind us had held onto their kite and made great gains on us, in this leg. In hindsight the big blue gennaker would have been the right sail all the way from Gannet (but the wind which was freshening as we sailed towards Gannet and meant to increase did the opposite and died away). Rounding Navy Buoy the wind was beginning to increase finally, and we put in an awful tack with the code 0 to get around, we held onto it for a while, but I was feeling uncomfortable about it, as the wind was getting stronger, and the top of the mast was undoubtably under a fair bit of strain. The Code 0 is very hard to furl in these conditions, but Bill was able to achieve it after about 4 attempts. Then it was two sails to the finish, our original plan was to head to east coast bays to get out of the tide, but best VMG was on the other tack so we headed for Gardiners Gap instead, and made our way down the Rangi shoreline, the tide was robbing us of about a knot of boat speed, and we felt we were on the wrong side as we tacked to the finish. We finished 1 minute behind Suburban Reptile and Rush and came 7th on handicap. Not our best race but we still enjoyed it and are left with the desire to do more 2 handed racing, work on our mistakes and decision making and get better. Unfortunately I will not be sailing in the 100, but looking at the results the 7th hasn’t hurt us to badly and overall we are coming second behind Geralda. So good luck Tom and Bill for the 100 we are still in contention overall.

Simrad 50 Race report
Simrad 50 2011
With a great forecast ahead, I was hoping I would be feeling better by Saturday. However after getting home from the briefing I realized I was covered in spots (chicken pox). A visit to the doctor the next day didn’t shine much light on the situation except that he urged me not to go sailing. How was I to let an opportunity like this go by. I would have to try, and lean heavily on Bill if need be. I was hoping for a better nights sleep, friday night, but unfortunately itchy spots were in full swing and sleep was almost impossible, so dragged my sorry ass down to the boat the next day to realize I had no boat keys on my boat key ring, after 15 minutes or so we had undone the small screws and were inside, motor started well, and we were off. Attending to a raft of small jobs, including sewing up the rip in the mainsail from the RNI and entering the course into the GPS. We almost missed the start we were so preoccupied, and when we did hit the line we hadn’t given it much thought. The wind was very light and we started with the masthead kite, which we held to browns island then we hoisted the code 0, followed by the big blue gennaker, which we dropped when the wind increased. We should have chucked up a kite or small gennaker straight away, but instead waited a bit before putting up the fractional gennaker with the jib out as well, top speed under this set up was 9.4 knots. It wasn’t long and we were rounding passage rock, where Drop Dead Fred was parked up with her keel firmly planted on the rock not going anywhere. We had a few boats behind us at this stage and were in close quarters with Big Bikkies a ross 930, we had more speed upwind than them and slowly edged past them, and then decided to put in a reef, which saw all the boats behind us edge past us, then once sailing again we caught back up to big bikkies and past them, before they overtook us in the reach to motuihi green. Once around this we hoisted our fractional spinnaker (the face), and shook out our reef, which we held onto almost to Billy Goat Point. Then back to two sails once around the corner, we opted to stay out in the deeper water to make the most of the tide, although the windspeed got up to 25knots the sea conditions remained surprisingly flat. We put our reef back in, and made it to the finish line in only two tacks. I was feeling really crook and cold by that stage so went below for a lie down while Bill brought her home. Thanks Bill. Miraculously we were first on handicap for our division.
