Posts: 502 Port Noarlunga, SA, Australia | Hello all, we sailed the Rum Race today, results below, moderate wind and seas. Had close racing with the Hallsworths on Young Mariner. We missed the mark at Port Elliot and had a relatively slow downwind to find it, those behind us went straight to it. Sh*t happens. Peter and Simons results should improve to third when they fix the results, (no spinnaker). http://www.vhyc.org.au/Results/RumRace2010.htmDarryn 1782

By my count that's 2 boats headed over the border in the last few weeks. Are they additions to the SA fleet or just people updating? Cheers

What about the carnage on the beach with those waves rolling up, a Hobie Tiger smashed the bow on the blue Mozzie while it was pulled all the way up to the bushes, thats 20ft from the waterline and 5ft above it I saw two dinghys get rolled and wrap their masts up and heard of another one. Johnny Beakin on his A class got thrown off the back when he rounded up, Liz dragged his boat up the beach with him after it was dumped on the beach backwards no damage luckily. That rounding mark was a lot further away from the finish line than last year so we went too high by miles

Unregistered | Hi all, great to see so many cats for a race in S.A. that would be the largest fleet for a while wouldn't it? Good to hear the Mossie Fleet is growing felt very guilty helping 4 boats come out of S.A. last winter, good to see some balancing up happening. Seeing as the Nationals are west side of Melbourne, hope to see lots of S.A. boats there. Also good to see Tony Barrett first home on Blade F16, beating faster rated cats. | | | Re: Rum Race 2010

Very funny but I wouldn't have directed my frustration at the beach which had done nothing wrong, go straight to the source I say. A few years back Bullet was T boned by another Mozzie at Victor Harbour. I put the boat on its side in the back yard to fix it and the satelite took a picture. Mozzie repairs photographed from space.
