Well done to all the sailors who came along to the Winter Champs. It was a wonderful weekend for sailing and many of our sailors

were delighted to find that the efforts that they put in over winter has lifted their capability, and enjoyment of sailing a lot.

Wakatere had 36 sailors across all off the classes, with some great results:

Mathew Kempkers 3rd in the starlings, with Jack Simpson in 7th ( first regatta in a starling) in a fleet of 45.

Paul Snow Hansen 1st in the 470's

Hamish Dunning Beck 2nd in the Techno windsurfers.

Marcus Sommerville 2nd in Open fleet in Opti's in a fleet of 87 ( 13 from Wakatere).

Notable performances from:

Tim Adair 6th

Leonard Takahashi-Fry 16th

Sam Wallis 28th

Sam Barnett 35th

Jono Weston, first 10 year old in 48th.

Well done to some of the group for whom it was their first Open fleet regatta out of Wakatere.
