SSANZ has an announcement about an announcement for Lewmar Race Delta!
We want to run this race but right now we don’t rate our chances. In the current Level 3 - Step 1 environment- it wouldn’t be possible to run this race. It may be possible at step 2 or step 3 but the rules keep changing so we can’t say for certain if we could.
What we do know is to run the race safely and the way we would want to we need - at minimum:
- Entered yachts to have two skippers from two different bubbles allowed
- Both skippers to be allowed below decks - for safety reasons
- A race management bubble (with multiple bubbles included)
- A few other things on top of this - but you get the idea!
So for now this is our plan
- We will make an announcement at 11:59am on Tuesday 26th October - confirming if based on whatever rules are in place then we can run Race Delta on Saturday 30th October
- you can continue to enter if you had a Lewmar Triple Series or Race 3 entry for free
- If you didn’t and need to enter and pay an entry fee - entries are on hold for you until Tuesday 26th October at 12:00pm - if we can race will open this up again for 48 hours and you can enter and pay then.
We appreciate everyone is mad keen to go for a sail and love the racing that we do - and we want to run the race if we can - but we also wanted to let you know our current thinking so you're in the loop!
Stay safe, wear a mask, get vaccinated, go for a day cruise and fingers crossed we can go racing on Saturday 30th October thanks to our mates at Lewmar, Baltic Lifejackets, Doyle Sails, PIC Insurance Brokers and Kiwi Yachting
Thanks team. Even if the entire SSANZ race committee went on a one week post-race rum bender, you would still be a better bet to run the country than the current buffoonery:)
Really hope you can race this - otherwise please know that Sailonline's virtual version will be running - free to "play" as always and we'd love to be challenged on our platform by some real racers! If you are able to race in reality, be assured we'll be keeping an eye on you all (Y) #StaySafe
Love your work guys

Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand, SO if we were entered in the Lewmar Triple Series there is nothing we need to do for entry? just turn up on race day?

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted. Good things take time!

Shout out to Philip Hart and co-skipper Grant Bourke on the Shaw 750 trailer yacht Deep Purple for taking on the big boys and winning their division of the Covid-foreshortened 2021 SSANZ Lewmar Triple series on line, and shortest overall elapsed time. Well done team!

With lockdown again here in NZ the last race of the Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand series has been unfortunately canceled. This means that the Yosemite Sam has finished 2nd place on line and handicap in the Pied Piper Class Assocation NZ division. It’s been a great series racing with my little brother Olly Maidment. There were some close racing and some good battles at times. Big congratulations to the Wasabi team who took the win.
Big thanks to sponsors
