Since our August newsletter we have waved goodbye to winter and welcomed spring with some fantastic spring sailing conditions experienced already.  Our Wednesday night club racing is back, as is the world famous in Taupō ice cream run.  Our youth sailors are well into their training, with a return to Learn To Sail for juniors and adults Mondays, Tuesday night training for our 420 teens and Saturday lessons for our junior Opti and Starling sailors. 

This newsletter we tie up our winter loose ends with the results from our winter series and share a September Aims Games story from the Hancock boys.  Bob Jollands has kindly shared a piece he wrote for the Wellington Classic Yacht Trust Newsletter which is an interesting read.  There are some important updates for members so make sure you get to the bottom of the news reel.

If you have anything you’d like added to the next newsletter email lubberline@ltyc.org.nz

Historic LTYC Photo

Thanks to Nadine MacDonald for spotting a historical photo of the LTYC which surfaced on a social media platform recently. The origins of the photo are unclear, but it’s an interesting blast from the past.

Happy Anniversary to John and Christine!

John and Christine recently celebrated a special anniversary and some of the old faithful came along to join in the celebration. There’s nothing like celebrating the day of your marriage with some old sea (or lake) dogs! Tash kindly captured this special moment in time.
