Easter Regatta
10, 11, & 12 April 2009
Southland Championships
Two regattas for $15, a canny wee deal for a McKenzie. The Southland Champs
was held in Queenstown with the SBS regatta. Eighteen sailors represented Mara-
kura, many of front of the fleets and some of us at the back. It was great to see the
“Opti Sail” kids staying on to compete in the regatta.
Saturday saw everyone but the green fleet out in the open lake for one race in
great wind conditions. The bouys blew away and the committee boat could not hold
position with only 1 motor running, so the rest of the regatta was held in the
Frankton arm.
Sunday mornings very light breeze quickly built up to a heavy blow giving the
Trailer Yachts some exciting sailing. Iain was kept busy in the RIB towing in lots of
boats
.
The club cup went to Wakatipu.
Congratulations to all those who
gained placing especially Cody who
now has his name on the P trophy
twice. Thanks to Doug, Annabel,
Merv, Phil and the team for orga-
nizing the regatta.

navigate around. As soon as it
reaches a stage where it is look-
ing something like it is meant to
the address will be mailed out to
everyone.

Yes it has rolled around to that time again where the Downs race is back. This is an exciting race and of course a great social event as well. If you are going to be enter-ing in the race and require some extra crew speak up early or if you are interested in being crew on a boat let Gordon Ashton know and he will see if there are any spots on a yacht somewhere. We will also probably require a couple of extra hands on the
