Gather your crew, we have another night of Great Advice:  Monday 19th October, 7pm at RNZYS, PredictWind will present the forecast for the race. 

After digesting the most up to date weather expectations four days out, one of the most illustrious inshore and offshore sailors of our time, Doyle Sails CEO Mike Sanderson, will give his judgement on what could be the winning strategy and what tactics the different types of boats may want to consider for the race from Auckland to Russell. The Race Director will also give more information on the course and safety preparations. 

This is always a busy event, so RSVP now, arrive early and bring your notebook!

PLAN AHEAD - WESTHAVEN PARKING
