                Bay of Islands Sailing Week January 18-21, 2011

2011 will offer just about everything for everyone.  The IRC Nationals will also be held at the Bay Regatta, making this the first regatta in New Zealand to run three National Yachting Events at one time in one place....

IRC - Elliott 5.9 - Flying 15.   We are very proud.

Other Stuff:

  • Good news - a reduction in Entry fees on the middle and inner courses (A/B/M Courses remain the same). For this we can thank our loyal sponsors and you-the-competitors for continued participation
  • Steinlager Pure is now our Regatta-Beer and at this regatta in lieu of the Beach Party, we are planning a Thursday Party-Night on the Wharf

There is a circle to make a Regatta work

It wouldn't happen without Competitors

There would be no regatta without Competitors and Sponsors

There would be no regatta without Competitors and Sponsors and Volunteers

There would be no regatta without Competitors -Sponsors -Volunteers - AND News exposure and Coverage.

Let's start to talk about the Sponsors

 

 

  • CRC - for Marine and boating equipment. Manufactures and markets specialty chemicals and adhesives, and has a quality product for most maintenance and repair applications. Meeting the needs of customers with high performance products has made CRC and ADOS market leaders in New Zealand. www.crc.co.nz

 

  • North Sails - has become the world leader in sail making. Their ongoing commitment is to make racing sails faster, lighter and longer-lasting. North Sails are crafting cruising sails to higher standards of performance and durability. The North Sails Loft in Auckland measures more than 2000 square metres and produces sails for some of the world's most famous racing teams.www.northsails.co.nz

 

  • Far North Holdings - has generously made the wharf and boat ramps available to all yachties and the general public. They welcome the Yachties to Bay of Islands Sailing Week each year with many special benefits at this superb location. For info on Marina availability go to enquiries@opuamarina.co.nz and to read about FNH go to www.fnhl.co.nz

 

  • Romeyn Woodcraft - designs and manufactures the unique trophies for the Bay Regatta, with the winning yacht names on each trophy for prize giving. A family business established in 1973, handcrafting original designs from native NZ timber.

 

  • Mt Gay Rum - the yachties favourite. The place of birth was Barbados in 1703, the oldest rum in the world, an icon amongst the race sailing community worldwide. There is such a selection of this fine quality rum available at Hancocks, well worth a look at the website. www.hancocks.co.nz

 

  • Steinlager Pure - an easy drinking taste, perfectly balanced. The emerald-green bottle will be easily recognised at the 2011 Bay Regatta. The Steinlager mantra is "Keep it pure" and that distinct taste will be worth waiting for at the end of each day of racing. www.steinlager.co.nz

 

  • Harken - recognised internationally furnishing top product for yachts of all sizes. Remember 'friction is not your friend" - if you want all your sheets and turning-blocks to run freely - use Harken. Their name is clearly seen on all our rounding buoys. www.harken.co.nz

 

Our thanks to all racers for active support in the past Bay Regattas.

2011 promises to have more variety; it's ever changing, and always fun
