Hi Magique, Further to Scottie's posts, the divisions themselves are detailed in the NOR document that is on the website here: http://www.coastalclassic.co.nz/#!race-documents/u98o7 If you are wishing to decide which divisions to enter, this is the best place to start.

Entries are open! Get in there. We are working with Top Yacht this year on the entry system. This is a great system that is tried and true thanks to other yacht clubs. If you have used TopYacht before, your details will already be in there and you'll just need to update them. Unfortunately, we weren't able to carry over details from our old system. Please feel free to send us any feedback or questions and your help is appreciated if you do spot any kinks. PS Thanks Matt for spotting my blooper in the newsletter.

Great to see you there Matt, and thanks for all of your input during the session. It looks like we can expect a few new boats on the startline, and there is some very promising interest in the single handed division. A trophy has also been donated for this division, which I'll highlight soon.

Jolly good Island Time! Would be great to see you on the startline. A reminder that the free seminar is on at 7pm this Thursday at the Zhik store in Victoria Park Market. Confirmed speakers are Simon Hull, Angus Willison (Yachting NZ), and Alexis Reeves (RigPro) It's a great chance to get questions answered and top tips from the experts - whether you are a first timer or not. Please do encourage anyone 'thinking' about having a go this year to be there as these guys have a lot of great advice to share.

Thanks Sundreamer

In case you didn't get the email or spot it on Facebook, we've launched the Coastal for 2016, and one of the big changes is a new division for solo entrants. Entries aren't quite open, but they will be soon.In the meantime, we've also set up a free race seminar that's taking place next Thursday evening 4 August at the new Zhik store in Victoria Park. Although on one hand it seems a long way until 21 October, it's only 90 days and it's important to have plenty of time to get everything lined up. Check it all out at www.coastalclassic.co.nz and make sure that you sign up for the newslet

Hi all, Thanks for this - great to see the Crew.org.nz forum still going strong. Thanks for the interest shown, and the comments received will be forwarded to the right people.
