2017 BAYLEYS TAUPO LASER NATIONAL REGATTA

The 2017 Bayleys Taupo Laser National regatta held last weekend on The Great Lake was a resounding success.

Conditions couldn't have been better for the 122 strong fleet with winds of varying strength and bearing providing competitive and challenging sailing for the 5 different fleets.

While sailors from outside the area took the prime placings, credit must go to local sailors, especially Blake Woodfield who was placed a creditable 6th in the Radial fleet and Clementine Roe, the sole 4.7 sailor.

 The organisers are to be commended for running a safe and enjoyable event, showcasing Lake Taupo Yacht Club as the pre eminent venue for regatta sailing.
