Six sailors trialed the the lake at Stanners road last Sunday and all agreed that it is a good venue to continue club racing until lake manuwai opens again! Video

John and Doug have done a great job in getting permission from  local landowners at the lake for us to use it for model boat sailing.

Please park and rig your boats up the access driveway 119 Stanners Rd as shown on map below

Let’s have a good turn out this Sunday so we can keep IOM sailing in kerikeri on track

Race officer is Alistair this Sunday as per schedule

 

With Lake Manuwai still closed some sailors are trialing a lake on Stanners road this Sunday . It’s also possible to run a good race course at Totara North . We will let you know here what the venue will be for the next club race to be held 24th September . Although the Whangaroa venue is good we are  finding the wind wind can be a little unstable for fair racing

 

 

 

 

 

Rain squalls and gusty winds greeted the six sailors that came down to Whangaroa on Sunday. Neil sneaked in a couple of wins to be top after eight races.

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 !

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.
