Fw: Teams Racing Event

Calling all BBC members.

ABC are organising a teams racing day to be held at Bruce Pulman Park on Sunday 21st June, ie 2 weeks away!

See below for format.

I have done this event once and it was a hoot! The term "team", is very important to remember.

So anyone keen from the Bay, let me know and we can organise teams and transport.

Cheers,

Theo (race officer)

ABC members, please give me an indication of your interest in being part of the Teams Racing day on Sunday, 21 June at BPP. You will be put in a 4 or 5 person team to race other teams in a match race. Hopefully, with wind, we will have a round robin event and then a final sail off for the top placings. The plan is to start about 10 am and finish about 4.30, depending on the number of teams entered.

Everyone welcome to compete, new sailors will be in teams with the more experienced. We will have teams from the Bay of Plenty and Hamilton. Could these areas please let me know how many teams will be competing so I can organise a draw.

All details to follow.

ABC members please email me direct at (Address removed) and I will organise you into a team..

This is a fun event with quite a different dimension to sailing against other competitors as you help some and have to beat others. It's team points that count so you don't have to win each race.

I have found the trophy, currently held by Mixed eMotions.
