Bay of Many Coves race turns into a drifter

{jcomments off}The last offshore race of the season was a real challenge – not because of high winds, but because of a lack of them.

There were five boats in the race: The Guarantee, Gucci, Wai-Aniwa, Am Meer, and Illusions. Some of the big girls and boys were either still out of town from the RNI or couldn’t get enough crew.

Island Bay race a ripper

The Island Bay race was a ripper with a “gentle” southerly that dropped from 25 to around 8 knots over the day providing tight reaching conditions along the south coast and a great kite run to Number 11 at Korokoro. Swells up to three metres at the entrance combined with an in-coming ferry and out-going tanker just added a little spice to what proved an excellent day for the fleet.

Champagne Sailing in the 2013 Brothers Race

The 2013 Brothers Race proved to be one out of the box with champagne sailing conditions in the Cook Stait and plenty of tactics all the way there and back. The Race started at 0800 hours in a light southerly with a heavy overcast sky. With 13 starters (and finishers), the race was one of the best of the season so far.

All the fun of the Ball!

{jcomments off}A great night was had by all at the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club Ball. Highlights included a packed dance floor from the first song from band Uncle Monkey, Mark Waters’ impressive dance moves and Rose Paino leading Gangnam style dancing from the stage.

A fun night was had by all thanks to the enormous efforts of Lynne Gallie and the social committee team.

Check out a selection of photos of the evening here.
