This weekend's sailing - March 24/25

Saturday...

Weymouth YC - Training at 1145.
French Bay YC - Training at 1000.
Waiuku YC - Match racing at 1100

Sunday...

Weymouth YC - Trailer yacht series final races - briefing 1100.
Manukau YMBC - Club Champs day 2 at 1230.
French Bay YC - Racing at 1100.
Waiuku YC - Champs racing #8 at 1130.
Panmure Lagoon SC have a river race at 0900.
Pakuranga SC have racing starting 0900.

Windfinder says to expect mostly fine weather, and around 15 knots (thats f4 for those who only know beaufort!)

So... get your boat out, scrub it quickly (or don't, its your choice) ring your mate with another boat in his back shed, and drag him and yourself to the nearest club. Aim to arrive around an hour before the start times listed here.

Remember to bring the bungs, and especially to put them in.

Generally speaking, each club has its own niche group, so as a guide...

Weymouth caters for all, but this week is aimed at trailer yachts and big dinghies.
Manukau is a stronghold for Hartley 16s and Noelex 22s, but will also welcome all.
French Bay caters for everything that can be launched off the beach.
Waiuku - as above, strong in finns etc.
Panmure LSC is a laser club - full rig, radial, and 4.7, also has O'pen bics.
Pakuranga SC caters for dinghies that can be launched off the beach.

And coming soon....


2012 Manukau Regatta.
hosted by Weymouth Yacht Club, Easter Saturday and Sunday.
All welcome, aim to arrive around 8am each day, racing starts at 9:30.
Come down and give us a try!

Of course I'm a bit biased, its my home club.
