Coming up at Weymouth Yacht Club this weekend we have the first of this seasons River Races on Saturday, followed by the first Harbour Race on Sunday.
The river course will see dinghy classes racing up the Pahurehure inlet towards the Papakura motorway, around a few channel markers, and finishing in front of the clubhouse.
Sunday's harbour course will start and finish in front of the clubhouse, and larger boats will head out into the main harbour, tackling semi-open water, and rounding the Wiri LPG terminal. Depending on the weather, the course could stretch as far as the airport or further.
Both courses will be set according to conditions, and while we will have full safety cover on Saturday, boats participating on Sunday will need to be self-sufficient, as conditions out in the main harbour can be quite hazardous. For this reason, Saturday is being promoted as a dinghy event, and Sunday as a trailer yacht event.
Trailer yachts can race on Saturday if desired, and large dinghies can race Sunday, subject to a safety inspection.
Both days events count towards their respective series points, and club handicaps will be applied afterwards to determine results.
Come along and join in on the day that best suits your needs.

Sailing Today - 8-7-2012.
This morning saw the winter series at Pakuranga SC continuing, in light, testing conditions.
In the light winds, it was the starling "Quicksilver" that got around the course quickest, living up to it's name.
Here's a few pic's of the mornings action, showing a beautiful day on the Waitemata harbour.
Click the image to see it bigger, they're in low-res, but I am happy to provide higher resolution copies on request.

| Beautiful day out there! |
 |
| Todays overall winner! |
 |
| Gypsy |
 |
| First Scout Cutter today |
 |
| Close racing for second and third! |
 |
| Right to the wire, 278 just crossed the line ahead of 131. |
In the afternoon, sailing on the Manukau harbour, was the third day of the Manukau Yacht and Motorboat Club winter series for trailer yachts.
In the light conditions, Hartley 16's took the line honours, just edging out the top Noelex's in both races.
Conditions were really shifty, and resulted in several attempts at laying the start line, before they could get a start away.
Pic's of trailer yacht action...

| The Noelex fleet approach the bottom mark. |

| Three of the Hartley fleet beating upwind. |
And also happening at MYMBC, the youth training is going really well. Here's a few more pics.
After sailing, I took a trip out to Weymouth, to check out the work on the new slipway and jetty.
Work has only started, and it looks a bit like a building site, but here's a peek...
And thats it from me today.
Except to say that not a single Weymouth boat went racing today, we should be ashamed of ourselves!

Pakuranga Sailing Club website
Pakuranga Sailing Club have started work on their new website.
We will be providing some pictures and help with setting it up, but the credit really goes to Rose-Mary, who is busily working away as we speak.
Check it out here but remember it is a work in progress, and only went live mid-week. It's a sportsground site, so a big thanks to SPARC for providing the hosting free.
If you've never been to Pakuranga SC, it's off Bramley Road, in Farm Cove. Although tidal, the water is clean, and quite flat, and the junior racing is great, especially during the winter series.

Fun times in the rain.
This mornings Pakuranga SC winter series proved challenging in more ways than one.
In the first race, boats drifted in all directions, with virtually zero wind, for around 20 minutes. Two sunbursts managed to excel in the drifting conditions, and opened up a huge lead over the rest of the fleet. Then suddenly, the breeze filled in, gently at first, around five knots, then building very rapidly up to around 15, with a few gusts getting close to 20. Those two sunbursts proceeded to plane flat out down the run, while several of the following fleet fell over! Those that stayed upright got soaked, thanks to heavy rain just before the wind kicked in!
The breeze then settled down to a nice solid 15 knots, which held in for the rest of the time I was there.
Today I took my Laser, so was unable to get any photos.
The second race started while I was de-rigging, having broken a small but crucial fitting between races.
________________________
Later in the day, the trailer yacht winter series continued at Manukau Yacht and Motor Boat Club.
For some reason, the Noelex fleet were absent, so the fleet was five Hartley 16's and one Cherry 16.
As this was the first time in over a year we had had a chance to line the Cherry up against the Hartleys, no-one had any idea how competitive or otherwise we would be.
Unfortunately we missed the first start while helping some fellow Weymouth sailors in a Hartley with rigging problems. Sailing around before the start, cruising downwind, we were significantly slower than all the Hartleys, which was somewhat worrying.
A good start in the second race saw us just behind the top Hartleys, doing better than we suspected we would, as we rounded the first mark. The two robs, sailing in the new Hartley, were struggling to get to grips with the boat, and had fallen behind somewhat. Sailing downwind, we had speed that seemed pretty close to the boats ahead. The breeze was around 15-20 knots, so we had occasional spurts of planing, especially when we sailed a little high.
The next beat the breeze was a little higher, and we were close to matching the top boats. Again, Rob was struggling upwind in the breeze.
Back down to the finish, and although we were a small distance behind the leaders, we had all had a good day on the water, and found out a little more about our boats.
Rob's new Hartley showed moments of brilliant speed, and once they get it tuned up properly should be pretty quick. Stay tuned for more!

Winter sailing at Pakuranga and Manukau
This morning marked the start of the Pakuranga Sailing Club dinghy winter series, sailed at farm cove.
The fleet was mixed, with a handful of various classes, competing alongside a large number of Scout Cutters and Sunbursts.
The fastest sunburst eventually took the honours, with the breeze varying between 10 and 20 knots.
In the stronger bits, a few sailors managed to capsize, but everyone had a great day out, and looked pretty tired by the end of the second race.
Here's a few pics... Click on them to see them full-screen!
ok, More than a few!
This afternoon saw the start of the Trailer Yacht series at Manukau Yacht and Motorboat Club, which was well attended with 4 Noelex 22s, and several Hartley 16s. I was trimming on one of the Noelexs, so no time for photos, sorry.
The Noelexs proved faster today, with the top three placings on line going to them, followed closely by the top hartleys. In the first race, the first five boats finished within 100m, and the whole fleet within just a few minutes.
The second race was also a Noelex benefit, with the top two boats managing to get a slight jump on the rest, with the other Noelexs just edging out the Hartleys.
Hopefully next time, on June 24, I will be able to sail in both events.

Winter sailing around South Auckland.
Tomorrow, Sunday June 10, sees a lot of activity on both harbours.
Here's a quick rundown....
Pakuranga Sailing Club (Farm Cove) start their famous dinghy winter series at 10am.
Panmure Lagoon Sailing Club (Ireland road) have day 2 of their hugely successful Laser winter series at 11am.
Manukau YMBC (Mangere Bridge) start their Trailer Yacht winter series at 2:30 in the afternoon.

This weekend's sailing - March 24/25
Saturday...
Weymouth YC - Training at 1145.
French Bay YC - Training at 1000.

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.

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.

Awesome sailing today.
Today saw the last 2 races of the Pakuranga Sailing Club winter series.
The weather was fantastic, with about 10 knots of wind straight down the channel, flat water, and moderate temperatures. Long wetsuits were ideal.
The race management was very good, with a well conducted briefing, good simple courses, and great prizes awarded at the end, for both place-getters, and a few by lucky dip.
There was a good fleet of sunbursts ( If I'd realised that earlier, I would have brought one of those over instead of my Laser ) and a good fleet of Scout Cutters, with a handful of other boats thrown in for good measure.
I think it ranks as the best bit of club sailing I've been involved with for some time.
Action on the water was fiercely contested, with some great battles in both fleets. I also spotted a few boats touching bottom in the shallow water near the clubhouse, trying to gain a tiny advantage.
It was great to see another club trying to build our sport, through grass roots level, and helping to increase participation.
Thank you PSC, respect is definitely yours.

Upcoming sailing events 21-8-2011.
This weekends Manukau sailing events are:
Laser racing at PLSC, Ireland Road Panmure - Handicap series number 2.
11:30 Start.
Mixed fleet racing at PSC, Farm Cove Pakuranga - Winter series 11 and 12.
10:00 Start, followed by prizegiving.
Both events are on Sunday, and dont forget to arrive with plenty of time to rig, and mention the Manukau Sailing Blog when you are talking to people there!
The windfinder forecast says around 5-15 knots SW, fine, clear skies, and 12 degrees, so probably not the best weather for those shorty wetsuits!
