madyottie 82 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi all, just a quick reminder to all those dinghy sailors that call the Waitemata home, that the Manukau harbour also has a lot of action happening. Five active clubs, evenly spaced around the harbour, race whenever the tide is right. so... If your club has nothing on, google "manukau sailing" and find out what's on "out west". And of course all are welcome to join the annual Manukau regatta, hosted this year by Weymouth Yacht Club, over Easter weekend. Weymouth is now under new leadership, find them on the internet if you want to know more. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ummmm.... Manly sailors sail whenever they feel like it, not just when the tide is right! Link to post Share on other sites

madyottie 82 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Ummmm.... Manly sailors sail whenever they feel like it, not just when the tide is right! well, feel free to bring your landyacht! or perhaps kiteboard, as long as you can get big air! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 More like when the wind is right Bro... that's just the GIRLy sailors. MANly sailors sail in anything. ^madyottie: Manakau is a bit of a hike for us just to do a club day. Would be interested if it was a big regatta, but our Nationals are at Easter and I'm not even going to be in the country.... Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Nah, 3.7 sailors have no meat on them. Better they got a substantial meal such as yourself! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 no making fun of the transom ballast please, im shore without him we would of pitchpoled almost as many times as you Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Shhh Madyottie I don't think we want too many people to know about the Manukau, do we? It'll get too busy. I keep myself busy with French Bay, and right now I am sitting at my desk looking past Paturoa Bay to Cornwallis Beach and the Heads... it's absolutely beautiful, and great to see other clubs out there pushing their cause and using the water too.

madyottie 82 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 yeah I popped out to FBYC on Saturday, and saw a few inverted starlings. From all accounts Sunday was a whole lot busier, sadly i had commitments so couldn't attend. Looks like a really nice place to sail. Next year try not to clash with the RSA at panmure, as that's 20-30 lasers that can't be in two places at once. especially when they're only just up the road. Rumour has it they'll be joining us for easter weekend. Bring it on, the more the merrier I say! Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks, good advice. Hope to see you out here one day soon. Link to post Share on other sites
