Our New Years eve plan.. past day's.. and visitor.. Ken returned to SXM Stad Amsterdam etc

Our New Years eve plan..

I sail Condor to St Barth 30est and 
Frits, Angela, Kippy will sail the Melges24 to St Barth..  
Condor will tow Frits's Melges24 from IWW trough 10.30 bridge, dinghy in davits, and stay sail installed for 20knots+ up wind beat to St Barth.. (up wind so add '6+' knots speed of Condor to wind speed.. and take of 1 knot of current = against)

  4... hrs for Condor probably, Melges probably 1 hr faster then me.. 

  Cheese fondue and place 2 sleep for all..

Benoit will receive us and is there and will join us next day for the 'New Year's Eve Parade', race around the island with slowest boat starting first, fastest last, and first over finish line wins..  Frits has already won it 2ce, but gives us little chance for 3rd time this year.. WLC, We/ll sea..

After Fire works at Midnight Condor will  weather permitting hoist Spinnaker and drop Rocna at 0400 again in Simpson Bay,
launch dinghy, drop and install Yamaha and then pick up Edgar somewhere so he has a bed onboard Condor 2...

Best last days and ...  

make something of 2019..

Cheers

36th America's Cup.. DUTCH ENTRY MAKES IT SIX AMERICA'S CUP CHALLENGERS

This page sort of under constant construction..

DUTCH ENTRY MAKES IT SIX AMERICA'S CUP CHALLENGERS

 Source: Emirates Team New Zealand - Emirates Team New Zealand and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron are pleased to announce the acceptance of a sixth Challenger for the 36th America’s Cup, from The Netherlands.

The joint Royal Netherlands Yacht Club Muiden and Royal Maas Yacht Club challenge comes from one of the world’s most famous maritime nations. They now join Luna Rossa (ITA), American Magic (USA), INEOS Team UK (UK), Malta Altus Challenge (MLT) and Stars & Stripes Team USA (USA).
The latest challenge now brings the 36th America’s Cup presented by Prada line up to seven teams, the most since the 32nd America’s Cup in 2007 in Valencia.
Emirates Team New Zealand said, “This is really positive news for the Auckland event in 2021.”
“The reality is, the more teams that race in the Prada Cup Challenger Selection Series, the greater the spectacle on the water and the better the economic return off the water for Auckland and New Zealand. This has always been the overarching objective of Emirates Team New Zealand since we won the America’s Cup in 2017.”
“We will be reaching out to Prada and the Challenger of Record to discuss further planning for the events in light of this exciting news. We are hoping and expect them to embrace this latest entry in line with the underlying philosophy of the America’s Cup being a friendly competition between foreign countries.”
Today Emirates Team New Zealand have advised the Auckland Council and Government that if there ultimately are not six challengers, there is an option not to build the Hobson Wharf extension as five teams can be accommodated on Wynyard Point saving taxpayer money.
