2011 Sail Akarana Regatta
    
   29th - 30th October 2011
    Okahu Bay, Orakei, Auckland
 
REPORT
Thanks to Steve Ashley

NZL 241

Here’s the results from our wee regatta in the weekend.  I’ve edited the official results as they cocked up a couple of things by having Tom and Me as DNC's in one race when we certainly were there – got the calluses and bruises to prove it!! 

A bit of a poor turnout, just bad timing really with people not being able to make it. Winds on average NE 10-12kts really good racing though.   

Great to have Pete Melvin come sail with us and show us how far we have to go to be able to be in his league!  He’s keen on doing some more racing with us before the Nationals.  He and Nat Shaver, who works for him back in the States, are both here working for Team NZ for the next 18 months so hope to have a lot more time on the water with them and others from the Americas Cup contingent who have A’s here at the moment. There’s 5 at Team NZ plus a couple at the Oracle camp.
