Close racing was held on Sunday 13th August in the shifty 5-15 knot north west breeze . Nathaniel was top score after eight races
Club racing as per programme will be held at Whangaroa this Sunday 13th August 10.30 am unless lake Manuwai is open. Watch this space for more information
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

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
