Is it the Fri/Sat/Sun or just the Sat/Sun? a.f.u Yeah, hopefully we can get over 10. It seems weird to get 12-13 for the PCC winter series and not be able to get at least 10 out for what we've earmarked as a champs. If you know a Ross 930 skipper hassle them into doing the BMW! Yeah it seems like it's just the 2 days (sat/sun) Link to post Share on other sites

strath 4 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 As a keen sailor and boat owner, a few thought that come to mind. I agree REVS “Are there too many clubs servicing and diminishing customer base?” this is a problem with all types of clubs at the moment. If the yacht clubs in Auckland were owned and operated by a corporate, there would not be three clubs at Westhaven. However I do acknowledge that there is a lot of history attached to the various clubs and nobody wants to lose their identity. It has always amazed me that clubs like Devonport, Ponsonby, Richmond, Akarana & RNZYS can’t have a combined cruising series and beach BBQ’s As far as the Auckland Regatta is concerned the RNZYS and BBYC, combined, are the only clubs that have the resources, to run such an event, and you have to take your hat off to them, for investing in an event, not knowing how many entrants they will get and if in fact they will break even financially. After operational expenses, most clubs rely on income from bar sales to keep in the black. It is disappointing, the numbers after a race, attending prize giving’s. Perhaps instead of having a drink on the boat after the race, skippers should encourage the crew to go back to the club for one drink!!! Clubs, use them or lose them.

True, we used to pride ourselves on being first back to the bar on Sundreamer, mainly because we were up there finishing. On Wild Oats, despite being back in the pack and way over at X Pier, we are still first to the bar and I don't think we shortcut packing up. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It has always amazed me that clubs like Devonport, Ponsonby, Richmond, Akarana & RNZYS can’t have a combined cruising series and beach BBQ’s this can't even happen in the Bay of Islands with our relatively small clubs (all 4 of them) As far as the Auckland Regatta is concerned the RNZYS and BBYC, combined, are the only clubs that have the resources, to run such an event, and you have to take your hat off to them, for investing in an event, not knowing how many entrants they will get and if in fact they will break even financially. every regatta has that problem... and I don't take my hat off to them... it doesn't matter how large the regatta is, you always worry if you are going to break even. Just the nature of the beast. And I think as an organiser you do get a thrill out of having a happy fleet because their anticipation to race is huge and they get to experience premium racing and excellent hosting on land! The last time I've experienced this was at RPNYC. The weather was lousy but the lead up to the Regatta and the feeling of being welcomed & the hospitality made up for everything that went wrong (and things do go wrong all the time)! After operational expenses, most clubs rely on income from bar sales to keep in the black. It is disappointing, the numbers after a race, attending prize giving’s. Perhaps instead of having a drink on the boat after the race, skippers should encourage the crew to go back to the club for one drink!!! we always urge all crews to sit at the club and debrief instead of on the boat. It works really well to run the prizegiving as soon as possible after racing... gets them back to the club house and spending money on the bar (the only place a club can make money) Clubs, use them or lose them. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Doyles are the official supplier to the Regatta Weather looking good for the weekend. Why not sail 3 handed if you cannot get a full crew. Going to be easy sailing and would be a heap of fun. I will be watching from Motuihe getting the drinks cold for everyone. Would be nice to be out there racing. ENJOY Link to post Share on other sites
