Awesome sunny but calm weather and flat water gave a fantastic start to our sailing season.
Sailing a basic windward-leeward course, Gina in the Topper lead Murray in the Sunburst and Rob in the Laser at the end of the first near-drifting downwind leg. On the beat back to the finish, the Laser streaked past, opening up a sizable lead. Gina then hit the reef out in front of the clubhouse, allowing Murray to gain the advantage, which he held to the finish.
Simon ran the rescue boat, which was a very restful experience in the conditions.
Everyone really enjoyed themselves, and we are all looking forward to next weekend.
Come on down and join in the fun any weekend through the Summer, lessons and training take place on Saturdays - our boats or yours. Casual mixed fleet racing or cruising happens every Sunday. The website and this blog are frequently updated, keeping you informed of what's on.
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.
