Electron sailing at Regency Lake, Gulf Harbour

Wednesday 8/11/2023 Report

Thanks to the four Sandspit/Mangawhai Electron sailors who came down to support getting an Electron fleet established at Gulf Harbour yesterday morning. There were six boats on the start line and skippers enjoyed some close racing during the morning on Regency Lake Gulf Harbour Challenging conditions for Electrons both on the wind and running, especially as the boats were getting out of control on the running legs by either nosediving, chinese gybing or just rounding up with the strong S/W gusts After several practice races there were five races recorded with 4 different winners.

We are planning to sail again in a fortnights time on Wed 22 November 10.00 an till 12.00 noon The Gulf Harbour Radio Yacht Club is helping to promote Electron sailing at Gulf Harbour and Mike Lanigan is co-ordinating Electron sailors in the area Mike Lanigan mike.lanigan@outlook.co.nz

It was great to see some of some ten, Electron sailors competing at the Regency Park Drive lake today. Some of them had travelled down from the Sandspit.

It was nice to catch up with fellow like-minded sailors. 

Due to the successful morning, it was decided hold a similar event on the morning of the 8th of November 2023 at 10am

All sailors welcome, come and have a look.
