The Weymouth Sea Scouts had a great day on the water in somewhat challenging conditions.
Scouts rotated through various sailing boats, including sunbursts and a scout cutter, in conditions averaging around 15 knots, gusting up to about 20.
Great sailing weather allowed for some fast rides, as the sunbursts planed across the river.
Unfortunately the cutter was capsized late in the day, however the club's rescue boat was on hand promptly and the cutter was recovered safely.
Keep up to date with what's going on around the Manukau Harbour, South Auckland, with all that matters to sailing enthusiasts. The Manukau is NZ's second largest harbour, very tidal, and houses five active sailing clubs. It is on the west coast, and there is at least one big multi-club invitational regatta each year. This site affiliated with Weymouth Yacht Club, which is on the fringe of Manukau City.
