Looking Good...

The forecast for this weekend's beginners course looks good, with 5-10 knot winds, and up to 16ยบ temperatures.

We aim to get as much time on the water as possible, and if the recent progress is any indication, we should be able to use the newly rebuilt ramp, which is almost complete at time of writing.

I'll try to get some photo's up here after the weekend.

None of the Manukau clubs have anything organised, however there is the annual Icebreaker regatta at Manly SC on the Whangaparaoa peninsula on Sunday. You can find the NOR in the regatta list.

A little update

No time for a full post right now, but here's a little update on some local stuff.

The ground works at weymouth are coming along finally, already two weeks late, but the contractors have finally sourced the wood for the new jetty and retaining wall. Today they made some real progress. Council has been putting pressure on them to get it finished by our next training day.

Our training course sold out with eight students. Sunday was blown out, but we got through a ton of theory. Next session we will be on the water as much as we can.

The WYC calendar has been updated to include the RSA and Manukau regattas, also the dates have changed for the Harbour Races. Click Here to view it.

Pakuranga Sailing Club have the dates set for next winter, Click Here for details.

Laters!
