Two weeks to go to the second SIMRAD

Two weeks and we race again. A little boat work has been done this weekend, Rob is working on finishing his boat building, making all the cupboard doors in the galley fit. I have been making the proto bean bags into signed off production models and making the final touches to the electronics.

The second of the SIMRAD B & G series is on Saturday August 14th. For the shorthaul boats (ones with a PHRF handicap less than 0.8) the course starts at Orakei Wharf, rounding Navy buoy between Whangaparoa and Tiri, then Gannet Rock, before finishing at Orakei. A total distance of 42 nm, a total time, well that is weather dependent.

You can follow our race progress on this website again, using our twitter updates on the left hand side of the page or by opening the AIS page and looking around for symbol - (Coppelia) on the map.
