2024 Sailing Regatta Results

Sailing Co-ordinator’s Report

Last weekend was the sailing section’s annual two-day regatta.

We had a fleet of 14 Lasers (including 1 Laser from the Wanganui Club), 4 Open Skiffs (“Bics”), 3 Open seniors and 1 junior Feva.

On day one, the wind picked right up mid race, resulting in two broken masts and only 5 finishers. All the sailors were accounted for!  Early finish to Day 1, followed by dinner at the Club.

Day two was excellent – good breeze, with some interesting shifts and we fitted in 5 full races.

We rounded the weekend out with a shout out to our very generous sponsors and prizegiving.

Results as follows:

Lasers  1^st Scott McIntosh, 2^nd David Feek, 3^rd John Dymond

Open Senior 1^st Murray Kersel and Jewel Swinburn, 2^nd Ferry Hendrix and Andrew Gilbey, 3^rd JP and Caroline McCartin

Open Skiffs 1^st Vinny Parsons, 2^nd Anna van den Dijssel, 3^rd Finn Pedersen
