Saturday was the last day the club's contingent for the 2026 Worlds in Wales were together practicing at the track.
Scott, Finn, Oliver, Shannon, Elsie, Steve.
All the best for the event and hopefully you can bring back a trophy of two.
The NZ contingent in total is 10 competitors so 'Go Manawatu'.

What a great weekend for the club. Saturday we had a 'fun day' event. 22 sailors. Everybody sailed in 'mix and match' races in the morning. The morning races helped determine teams for the afternoon. 6 teams, 10 races with everybody sailing at least 5 races. Lots of fun, camaraderie and close quarter racing practice for those heading for the worlds. Folks enjoyed the relaxed competitive format and opportunity to sail against a range of sailors of varying abilities.
Chocolate was divided up amongst the winning teams.
Team Julian 1st. Team Rudi 2nd and Team Shannon 3rd.

A massive thanks to everyone who turned up today to help sweep the track. Many hands make light work. Special thanks to McIntosh Cranes for organising and bringing out a truck with tractors and sweeper making our work possible. After finishing the big sweep Finn managed to get out for a couple of laps. In his words “it’s amazing!”
