White Paper

/ neil

I guess most of us are only interested in our fortnightly sailing at the club.

However it takes a lot more to ensure quality in our radio sailing regattas around NZ

A lot of time and thought has gone into writing the white paper with only one aim and that is to improve radio sailing throughout NZ. I encourage you all to take some time out, to understand the content of the white paper.

Please take the time to read the papers from the links below and talk about it with club mates.

Club Racing 19-5-19

Fifteen boats turned up for a fresh south west breeze .  Racing was close and wind shifts were great so it was a challenging day of racing.  Doug Kane had his K2 running quite smoothly and was at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the day.

Another good day of racing with eleven boats on the start line. Again the wind was light  from north east but  a little more steady from the previous  Club Champs regatta. Again Deano showed the way with devastating speed from new sails on his old boat. Des looked to be a threat however did not sail the last three races.

Kerikeri Club Champs 2019

/ neil

It was a little bit of a down and out weekend for the Kerikeri Club Champs over Easter.

Boats didn’t turn up because of family functions and the wind didn’t turn up and nobody knows why!

 However,  with a late start, racing commenced with eight boats on the start line. The first three races were off wind starts and this made for a lottery when the whole fleet converged on the bottom mark that nobody could see!

There was an unusual dog leg on the course because of a wind change and this confused a few (including myself) when rounding the wrong way! Continue reading →

Club Racing 7-4-19

/ neil

Another great day of racing with a nice 10-15 knot south east wind but shifty.

Twelve boats were on the start line and great to see some new faces sailing IOM boats. Dean clinched the day with three wins however the first five boats were close on points.
