If you've not done this event it is heaps of fun. Organised by Evans Yacht & Motor Boat Club and open to trailer yachts and keelers.

 

Tie your boat up at Days Bay wharf, go into the Days Bay Pizza Pavilion at about midday. There will be cheap eats and drinks plus you need to register for $10 per person. Race start is 1:15 and you race to Evans Bay yacht Club. They usually have awesome prizes and everyone gets some.

 

Forecast at the moment is a brilliant sunny day, with a 15 k northerly. Low tide at 2pm.

 

For trailer yacht probably easiest to launch at the Council ramp in Evans Bay.

They really are determined to keep this event small with none of the big boats turning up again this year.

 

This used to be a great race held as the last race of the year, it had boats such as GBE's 18 skiffs etc coming from as far as Auckland to compete in, now it's held on a Saturday mid season on championship days of other clubs so nobody turns up and this year on the same day as the RPNYC Regatta and now a revised day on the Island bay race.
