Auckland

What a timing….. the weekend of 29/30 May was the last one for the standby period set for the 2010 Auckland Freestyle Champs. The AWA end of season prize-giving party was also on for Sat 29 May. So this was the last chance to run the comp in time to hand out the trophy at the party. After two “no-go’s” the previous weekends where the forecast didn’t hold what it promised we decided to try it again. Third time lucky!

Ok here we go, forecast looks quiet good now for a decent day of sailing. The comp is on for tomorrow Sat 29 May, first possible heat to start at 1pm at Pt Chev. Still open for more entries....See you all there. Any questions call me on 021 14 22 830. Cheers Alexander

The event was postponed again. Arriving in 25 Knots it looked soooo promising. Unfortunately the heavy rain took the wind with it....We waited for a couple of hours hoping the westerly will fill in strong enough but no -beautiful sunshine instead. Saussages and beer went down well though(big thanks to Jim again) We'll keep the event on standby...cross fingers for the next few weekends, maybe we're third time lucky!

The event has been postponed due to a lack of wind today. Forecast looked promising but it had quiet a bit of south in it when we turned up. Never pushed through strong enough. So we called it off at 12.30. All entries will stay in (thanks for turning up everyone) and we'll put it on standby again. Maybe next weekend (Sunday is a non event day though) or the week after. Also thanks to Pete, Jim etc. for your help and support
