4th November 2007
In the Laser fleet, Ross placed first followed by Danny, Jamie (all from Ngaroto), Harl Harris (Cambridge) and Pete Horton (Ngaroto). Alex was second in the Open fleet sailing his Paper Tiger Southern Comfort (taking all the line honours on the way). Shaun Rumbles was third in the Opti fleet. Other sailors from Ngaroto to compete were Micah and Linda (RS Feva, complete with the fluro yellow spinnaker flying on off wind legs) and Alex (Tiger Cub). The wind, from the north-north west was in the 10 to 15 knot range with gusts higher, enough to raise the hull of the hull of the Paper Tiger on many occasions.
The next Waikato Lakes Regatta is at Lake Ngaroto on the 25th November, briefing at 10.30 am.

Next weekend (10-11th November) we have the Paper Tiger Freshwater Regatta at Ngaroto. Briefing is at 10.00am. A good big fleet looks very likely and will start to arrive on Friday night. There's a dinner on Saturday night, breakfast on Sunday morning and lunches over the BBQ. Plenty of good racing too!
