Murrays Bay Sailing Club

Great to see our Graeme bringing his skills to tramping, and preparing for a great adventure. This could be trickier than sailing a P Class!

Meet the tramper using marine tech to make ultralight tents 🏕

After 40+ years designing sail profiles, Graeme Robbins, coach to Auckland’s racing dinghy sailors, sailmaker to the world and superyacht crew member, has designed a custom stormproof tent for his TA journey.

The result is a tent roomy enough to sit up and stretch out in, and weighs just 1180g.

“My forte is attention to detail,” says Graeme. “I’ve had some good results in sailing, and I don’t think it’s because I’m a great sailor; it’s that I’ve always strived to have better equipment than anyone else.”

The Starling is a classic New Zealand design. It is the ideal transition boat for sailors growing out of the Optimist. MBSC has a vibrant Starling fleet (one of the biggest fleets in the country) that offers highly competitive racing.

Busy day at MBSC today! P Class clinic in the morning (12 sailors)and then AIMS Games Opti training sprints in the afternoon.

All while other sailors & parents were working hard preparing the club for the start of the sailing season! Lots going on and plenty to be excited about.

You have to trust your instincts and the work you have put in." Jo Aleh knows what it takes to win at the highest level. We instil this same work ethic in our sailors at MBSC. Hard work and dedication yield results.
