Auckland - Ardmore Sprints
We had wind, a different course and visitors. The wind held in all night which meant 10 races before lack of light stopped the sailing about 7.50.

Re: Nationals
Hi Richard, Nationals will not be at Easter. Ohakea was not available. This needs to be taken off the website. We're close to confirming another date later in the year.

But not hotdogs! They are edible. Shark goes with the tatie so we won't go hungry. Let's have a fry-up. And a dog is a mammal like the Orca.

I think there may be an impostor that has stolen Tony Frisher's identity, taken it to the dark side, and subtlety changed his name in order to implicate one of our great sailors.
