SSANZ PIC 60 1 July 2023

A strong westerly 20 to 30 forecast for the start of the SSANZ triple series. On cue a big gust came through the first starters causing problems. The 9:15 and 9:30 starts were more under control as the fleet headed out past Motutapu to port out into the Gulf for their 60 mile adventure.

Epic kite control on the SNIFTER I see there😂

A bit of short-handed carnage there, Roger. Great coverage.

Yes sure was - two handed with a big kite is asking for problems! Still some held on to them ok

Hard Labour with the kite finally under control and booting it at 2:40

Sailmakers will be happy

Maybe not so happy that all their skillful work was shredded but their accountants will be pleased.
