Regatta Ramblings November 2017

Last month’s Coastal Classic was a dream ride according to many crews, with “good breeze most of the way”. Hopefully we’re saying the same about Bay Week in late January 2017. Make sure you join us for “New Zealand’s BEST big boat regatta”!

NZL Yachting Trust Bar Shout

Bay Week sponsor NZL Yachting Trust will be with us on Wednesday night during the regatta with a promotion at the Marquee. NZL Yachting Trust does a lot of good work behind the scenes of the sailing world, so come along to hear what they have to say, and enjoy a drink on the house thanks to our sponsor.

Lunches

The Opua Store lunch shop is again doing lunches to order. You can also drop in before the day’s racing, but we advise pre-ordering to avoid missing out. Store contact is 09 402 7575.

Time is moving on and there are all kinds of arrangements to be made: berths, crew, accommodation, bottom clean (and on that subject make sure you check out marinepests.nz), get the boat to the Bay, organise boat food… You can get at least job out of the way by entering online now.
