Bridge to Bean Race
17th April 2021
NEW LATER START TIME: 1pm (1255 warning signal)
Join a huge fleet of sailing dinghies and foiling vessels will make a dash from the Harbour Bridge to the iconic Bean Rock Lighthouse. This is for all dinghy clubs just like Wakatere and something we dont get to do every day.
There are several launching locations around the harbour.
For club members living locally, Narrow Neck and Bayswater are your closest B2B launching locations with sign-on codes at each - the junior classes preferring to launch from Bayswater as it's closer to the start line at RNZYS. Enter online and then sign on at the launch location.
