waikiore 345 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I trust that Auckland will be bidding to host this great event against Sydney, with our proud history of competing in the old Whitbread and facilities here it is a natural stop off-prior to the Southern Ocean. Perhaps after waving goodbye to the AC the squadron would like to step forward as a host club. I for one recall the hilarity and hijinks associated with the Auckland stopover parties back then (when most of the crews slept on board and werent bothered about rushing to the gym each day) Could excite that summers sailing-remember the Whitbread big boats racing on our regatta day? The waterfront was packed-we havent seen that since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
