Welcome
to the Lake Taupo Yacht Club, the 'centre' of sailing in the North
Island.
Hi all,
Some imporant dates coming up, so be sure to be there.
First up, the Winter Series sailing has started, and races start
at 14:00 hrs every second Sunday, with the next race on 7th June. Bar
will be open
after racing.
Courtesy of the Sail World e-mail newsletter, the following two
articles were published on how not to enter and leave port.

Two important dates coming up, the PRIZEGIVING on
Friday 19th June, commencing at 17:30 hrs with drinks and nibbles, and
the AGM on Wednesday 24th June, commencing at 19:30 hrs. Please give
thought to standing for the committee if you want to have a say in how
your club is run. Further details in Lubberline.
A CLASS CATAMARAN FOR SALE
If you want to sail a boat that is capable of 20 knots, and can provide a real adrenaline rush, try an "A" Class cat.
The "Freemantle Doctor" is now for sale. She has served her purpose as
a boat to get used to sailing big cats, with a 9m (30') mast, 5.4m
(18') long, 2.3m (7'6") wide, and 13.7 sq m (150 sq ft) sail area, any
wind above 4-5 knots can see her lifted on one hull and go. Lots of fun
amongst the trailer yacht fleet, two local regattas per year plus
others in Auckland, Napier, Bay of Islands, and Rotorua if you want to travel there is plenty of sailing to be involved in.
I am currently having a new "A" Class built to be ready for the new
season, so the "Doctor" can be yours for $1800 ONO. Contact Kerry at
(07) 3788377 or 0212898817.
