Wasting no time getting out on the good ship on these epic winter weekends!

This could be you, turn key cruising and racing!

So good to be back out on the water.

After 13 weeks high and dry the good ship is floating again!

New rudder looks great thanks to Steve Thompson for the design and the guys at Brin Wilson boats did a great job bringing it to life, new rudder is a Carbon composite fin and we re used the old stock that was still in good condition.

Looking forward to seeing how she performs and Steve says we should have unlocked some more performance 🤞.

She is still for sale, contact me to arrange a viewing. We really want to find her a new family that can enjoy her as much as we have.

She has a fresh coat on anti-foul, new anodes and new prop speed so no need for any underwater maintenance for a while!

And all going well we may see you on the start line for race 1 of the Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand triple series.

Great progress today, rudder is 90% finished and currently being dry fitted ready for the last bits of fine tuning fitting to the hull nicely.

Boat is now back on her keel! Ready for glass and fairing next week.

Hopefully rig is going back in next week, anti fouling next weekend and then launching the second week of June 🤞.

Since finishing the Doyle Sails Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand RNI 2026 on the 16th March 11 weeks ago the boat has been out of the water awaiting insurance assessment, quoting of repairs and in the last few weeks progress has finally started on the new rudder.

Steve Thompson has come on board again to design a new rudder section to go with the Steve Thompson keel installed 2 years ago. The new rudder is less drag, more grip and stiffer than the previous one resulting in some more performance gains to come 🤞.

We are hoping to splash again in a few weeks and may come out for a play in race 1 of SSANZ Triple series.

Thanks Boating New Zealand for a great write up of the good ship!

Kick comes off the 2026 Doyle Sails Round North Island Two Handed Yacht Race with a fourth on corrected time, third on points, second in Division 3, and seventh overall on line honours. In Leg 2, she won outright on handicap. Her offshore record runs deep across New Zealand racing. From the 1,250 na...

Big weekend tidying up the boat and putting her back into cruising fitout even tho she is now on the hard stand awaiting final assessment before repairs commence.

And this morning just finishing up sorting out the last bits into storage at home and we have now retired the battle flags to the workshop at home to keep the memories alive and to remind us what we have achieved over the last 8 years, we purchased the boat in 2018 with the intention of the 2020 RNI and I guess we never stopped the prep and develoment of the boat which led into 2 more laps of the North Island.

Well that's a wrap for leg 4 of the Doyle Sails Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand Round North Island Race.

Not how we intended on finishing this leg with only 1/3 of our rudder after hitting something a few hours before East Cape (alot of debris out there from trees to drain coils and the likes). Going into the night after East Cape we sailed very conservatively with Main only as it was to risky not seeing the wind on the water and putting the S2 up with Limited steerage so it wasn't until day break came we started to speed up again with putting up some extra Sails.

With carefully balancing the boat with reefs in the main and different fore sails we managed to make good time to the finish just before the tide turned.

Huge thanks to Ben Roff, you have been a great Co-Skipper and we were very competitive through out the legs and was ashame we couldn't push to the end but also persevering to the end with minimal rudder shows some great seamanship skills.

Kick will no doubt be back better than before once the rudder is repaired and ready for her future owner and until then we will continue cruising her around the gulf with the family.

Another amazing RNI organized by SSANZ and cant thank all the volunteers and organisers enough for putting it together yet again.

Just a note to all our followers in the Doyle Sails Shorthanded Sailing Association of New Zealand Round North Island Race, if you notice we slowed down around midday today this is due to loosing half of our rudder, we are managing with reduced sail area and coming into flatter waters which hopefully help us start getting back upto speed a bit.

We are still racing and plan to finish the race if the rudder stays together.

Everyone cross your fingers 🤞

From a bumpy wet start crossing the cook strait for leg 3 and a nice calm slide to the finish we definitely got dealt it all.

10th on line overall mixing it up with the div 2 boats again, 5th PHRF overall and second on line and PHRF in Div 3 with Ragnar really making us work for it!

And I believe we are still sitting second overall on PHRF so it is all to play for in leg 4.

Leg 4 starting 1pm tomorrow.
