MRX Yachting

5 races, 5 different winners! There is no closer more evenly matched fleet than this!

Final MRX got its new U-Dek last week completing a massive upgrade!
U-Dek is certainly a lovely product that not only looks fantastic but provides surefooted grip and is soft and comfortable underfoot. As with most products preparation is the key and where most of the time and effort goes… actually applying the U-Dek itself is the quick, easy and definitely most rewarding part of the process!

Massive thank you to the team at U-Dek!

I’m currently in the process of arranging U-Dek for my own boat… which has to be the ultimate compliment for the product!

😃 Big feature in the current issue of RNZYS Breeze Magazine about MRX Ownership.

There are a lot of misconceptions and false understanding about how the MRX fleet operates. The goal is to clear things up and also introduce new people to the fleet to enjoy super cost effective, One Design Sailing.

Following on from the article, RNZYS are hosting a Q&A Evening on Tuesday 22nd July from 6:30pm. Anyone interested as well as current owners are welcome to attend.

RNZYS does a great curry and drink special as well as their regular menu so you can get something to eat and drink too!

Over half way on the MRX U-Dek project now with 6 boats complete and the 7th not far away! The darker grey looks awesome along with the blue, black or light grey edges.

The U Dek product is awesome, grippy, soft on the feet and hard wearing. Like most things the key is in the preparation…unfortunately the original installer applied it straight over the aggressive molded non skid in the gelcoat… which was always going to compromise adhesion and doomed to fail. This time it’s all being ground back, painted to seal the deck and then U Dek. Already we can see from the boats already done that this will be a long term solution with great adhesion and how it should have been done in the first place!

Congratulations to National Keelboat Champions Jordan Stevenson and crew . Also to the Women’s Champs Leslie Egnot and crew who finished a very creditable 3rd outright.

Going into the final 9th race, any of the top four teams could have won! In fact it was so tight it seemed whoever won the final race would win the regatta! Which is exactly what happened.
Andrew Clarke, Byron van Vugt, Anna Merchant, Josh Salthouse, Harry Hull and Matthew Hughes.

Both Jordan and Leslie chartered boats to compete in the RNZYS Sprint Series… time in the boats obviously contributed to their great performances.

There are currently shares available in the MRX fleet starting from just $4k per year which includes management and maintenance. To discuss further contact the fleet manager on ph 021679125

Busy day for the MRX’s yesterday with 10 boats out racing for Yachting New Zealand corporate day.
Perfect conditions! 5 highly competitive races with Olympic sailors and past Round the World and America’s Cup sailors scattered throughout the fleet.
Cameron called in the big guns to upgrade the race committee boat with Tim Holgate’s Salthouse 57 Freedom providing warning signals from a superyacht worthy horn and the actual start signal from a cannon! No excuses for not hearing signals!

A great day out on the water for the MRX's and crews competing for the Upside Cup

Such a great cause https://upside.org.nz
