Racing is held inside marina

Plenty of parking and good grass area for rigging beside the water before the Game club as you come into Whangaroa

Next club race will be held at Whangaroa Sunday July 30th 10.30 start

Doves Bay is not suitable for radio yacht racing on Sunday mornings

We will inform you here when  lake Manuwai is open  and racing will be back to normal

 

As lake  Manuwai has been closed because of Algae bloom club racing will now be held at Doves Bay off the Maria breakwater starting this Sunday July 16th at 10.30am

Racing will be held at Doves Bay the same as programme until we are again able to sail at the lake

If lake is closed on 16th July racing may have to be cancelled

Doug ,Glen, and Neil sailed from the breakwater at Doves Bay marina on Sunday the 9th of July and we thought this is a good alternative venue !

Doug,Neil and Nathaniel will be sailing at the Commodore’s cup at Westhaven on the 16th

We can organize racing  on Sunday 30th July at Doves Bay if lake is still closed

Cheers

Neil

Update from NIWA re Algae bloom in Manuwai reservoir attached FYI

Our recommendation to FNDC is to continue to restrict public access to the Manuwai Irrigation reservoir until further notice.

Irrigation water being distributed from the reservoir appears to continue to be below the minimum guidelines for stock consumption.

Lake Manawai was closed and Whangaroa was the alternative venue for Sundays Club racing  Five boats turned up with very light westerly wind and threatening rain.

Racing was transferred to the outer course after the first three races in search of more wind . Racing was close and the venue was fine for One meter racing .Very pleasant environment and great for rigging up
