Clearing the Raupo

There was so little wind for Races 5 and 6 for the club champs (6th April) that we abandoned race 6 at 2.30. At 2.45, the a gentle breeze set in, but by that time, team Ngaroto was pulling the out the Raupo clogging the ramps. We’ve agreed to to sail two more races in place of the Mark Foy races scheduled for April 20th.
Race 3 and 4 were sailed in 5 to 8 knot breezes; it is fairly typical late season Waikato weather, hot humid and windless.

We’ve cleared Raupo from both ramps. And in the process recovered a motor mower, various concrete lumps and other rubbish. Click on the link to see the photos!
We made space for Claire’s P hase II in the boatshed, and have begun preparations for next weeks Waikato Centreboard Regatta.
