Easter weekend.
We will be holding an invitational sprint race series on Saturday April 7, before the Manukau Regatta on April 8.
The regatta will probably follow the normal format of 2 or 3 old school olympic triangle races.
The Sprint series will be run on a new innovative idea that hasn't been tried before, but will certainly work up a sweat if there's wind. And thats just the race officer!!
If I have my way, Sprint entry will be included free with Regatta entry, or $5 just for the one event.

Hot Trailer Yacht action at Manukau
Race 2 of the MYMBC trailer yacht winter series happened today in near perfect winter sailing conditions. Winds varied between 10 and 20 knots through the day, and the water was beautifully flat.
The top placings were very hotly contested between the leading Hartley 16s and Noelex 22s.
The Quicksilver 16 and Cherry 16 were both slightly off the pace in the conditions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Cherry sailor, I felt that we were a close match for the Quicksilver in the windier parts, however start line confusion in the second race prevented us from having a really good battle. Both boats were also late for the first start.
A little more wind would have suited us better, although less wind would have favoured the quicksilver.
I intend to add a significant amount of mast rake before the next race, in an effort to remove any traces of lee helm, which, although very minimal, still affects our handling and performance in the gusts.
