Anyone heading out to BPP this afternoon... Its blowing around 15 knots in the city at the moment and forecast to increase.

Will head down around 1:30 – 2pm if others are keen.

Hi

What is this "BPP"?  I do realise it is in Auckland, but what kind of surface are  you guys sailing on. Sounds like a big area.

It is a park in south auckland... We use a tar sealed car park and road system.

watch out it is hard on your tires,and mast protectors are good there if you go over especially in hi winds plus watch the curbs.

Hi, Bpp sounds like a good place to blokart, as Andrea says, our beaches in Invercargill,( when the tides are right and a westerley is blowing), are a great place to achieve fast sailing in stretches of up to  12 miles in either direction  or alternatively Turnbull Thompson Park a great grassy reserve. I might even head out to Oreti this afternoon.

Hey there, I'm looking to get a list of good places to blokart in auckland as right now I'm restricted to a tiny patch of soft sand only usable at low tide and a dead easterly >_>. Any ideas? I'm based in howick, btw

Hi, Go to Auckland Blokart Club website www.abc.gen.nz for directions and ideas.
Otherwise turn up to Bruce Pulman Park, Papakura on Thursday afternoon about 5.30 and come play with 30 other keen blokart sailors. Bring some money to join the club and we'll help you get started.
