Kai Iwi Lakes Trial Regatta

/ neil

WOW ! What a place 

This was a fabulous event sailed on the crystal clear waters of lake Waikere

Gusty 10- 15 knot south west breeze on Saturday was a little challenging for all sailors especially rounding the bottom gate that was set a little far away!

Ian Vickers proved he made no mistake with his new V 11 and quickly established himself to be top of the leaderboard and this continued in the light conditions of the next day

All sailors enjoyed the weekend and all said yes to be back next year

So the venue proved to be good for regional events and it is possible the next North Island Championships will be held here

Barry set an unusual racecourse that challenged the skippers memory! At the end of  the day most enjoyed the change that helped  spread the fleet and gave more opportunity than just follow the leader .   Neil was top after eight races.

Four first places proved that Dean Lutze is the master when the wind is in the shifty easterly direction. Life became easier for the rest of the twelve boat fleet when the yachts of the two pros Glen and Des became tangled in race three and they had to retire .

Doug Kane is starting to make a habit of being top of the leaderboard to the concern of the rest of the Kerikeri sailors! Despite the shifty easterly breeze the worlds fastest boat seemed to glide through the calm patches to record four wins.

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.

2. White Paper Addendum – V 1.02

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.
