Due to the persistent gale forecast for Sunday the 16th of August, we will not be sailing tomorrow. AP over A - Races not started are postponed. No more racing [tomorrow].

Day one of the 2026 Winter Series.
Forecast: Maybe? Reality: Nuh-uh.
That said, one lap of the course was achieved by all.
Results will be up on the website once the commodore finds where he put the registration paperwork...

On Saturday we held our 2026 Annual Regatta, in memory of life member Peter Keast. Grey skies and chilly northerlies set the scene, but a strong turnout from Titahi Bay, Sailability Wellington, Paremata Boating Club, and more delivered for a friendly and challenging series of four races around the harbour.

A huge thanks goes out to everyone who helped out to make this a fantastic day, one that Peter would have been proud of.

Results are up on the website, racing & prize-giving photos below.

We'll have the BBQ on in the morning and free coffee - grab yourself a bacon buttie - profits go towards getting new helmets to make sailing safer for our members.

🏆🥇Excellent work to our club stalwarts Darrell Smith and Graham Hook for winning the Burnsco 2026 SKUD 18 International Match Race Challenge.

Any time these two aren't in the same boat, they're quietly match-racing each other around the course. It's good to see that experience pay off. 🫡

The Wellington Region Schools Regatta is coming up on Wednesday this week here at Paremata folks.

Come and represent your school. Bring your boat, bring your lunch, bring your mates, and sail on the beautiful Pauatahanui inlet in the Wellington School champs.
