Nelson Radio Sailing Club Inc. is holding the Goldpine South Island IOM Championship Regatta on 8th and 9th October 2022 at the Club’s sailing venue at Best Island, Nelson. There are over 35 entries for the event from far and wide, e.g. Australia, North Island and many from the South Island.
Following the severe flooding recently in our region, the area surrounding the pond at Best Island was completely submerged and unusable and it was doubtful whether the event would be able to be held at the venue. However, with huge thanks and massive appreciation from the Club’s members to Rob Grant of Southwater Limited in Richmond the excess water has been pumped out at a rate of approximately 350,000 litres per hour over a four day period. Hence the pond is now back up and running in time for the event.
The event is open to the public so mark your diaries and come along and support the Club.
