Thames Sailing Club @ Te Puru
18th and 19th April 2009
Eight boats and 11 sailors plus support crews made NSC the biggest supporter of the regatta. On site camping, light wind on Saturday followed by a steady moderate easterly on Sunday allowed all seven races to be completed and a great weekend to be had.
Linda Civil and Brian Moorhead sailed their Phase 2 consistently very well (placing first in the 3rd race) to take second place in the Open (handicap) fleet. The fleet included Jolly Boat, 3.7 and Finn yachts.
The eight strong Laser fleet had a tight contest for the top three places. From Ngaroto Ross Wrenn took second in a count back with Stuart Fanshaw (Pauanui) and Arthur Giffney third. Ross’s tally included two firsts and Arthur another one. Danny Padman placed 4th with an individual placing as high as 3rd.
Matthew Ward was the lead Starling and in a second Open fleet, placed second in every race in the six strong fleet that included Mistral, Paper Tiger, Buffalo Cat and Frostply yachts.
