Zephyrs race for the
Waterer Cup
Well done to all for a well run event last weekend. The event was won by one of YNZ's Olympic coaches, Grant Beck. FBYC was once the stronghold for Zephyrs in Auckland and they will be back next year to race more often after a great afternoon's racing for the Waterer Cup. Ewa's pictures here

Well done to Elise who lodged the first protest of the season. The incident was settled by arbitration. Please note that the club has rule books for sale for $25, you are encouraged to get one if you don't know what the sailing rules are. Contact a Committee Member to purchase.
