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.

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.
