Omaha Traveller Series: 10 - 11 October
Unfortunately, the weather was against us. The breeze was at the upper limits and whipped up quite a sea state so no racing was possible across either of the two days.
However, with a good turn out of crews, most people took the opportunity to sample the local hospitality. The Sawmill Brewery definitely gets a highly recommended.
Saturday evening saw the crews come together for the annual Traveller Series wrap up. An awesome paella evening was enjoyed by all.
Overall Traveller Series
Like most events this year, the Traveller Series was significantly disrupted by Covid 19. The opening round at Napier was the first casualty and to be honest, the whole series was looking in serious doubt. This definitely had a big impact on the southern based boats participation and it was unfortunate to not have them on the start line. However, with some significant perseverance and support from participating crews, a series took place with regattas at Opua, Marsden Cove, Sandspit and Marsden Cove.
While it was challenging series, overall it was great to be able to have the opportunity to go racing when so many other events were just not possible.
Final Results
Tight at the top with SMAK taking out the title over R+R and the ever consistent Slam Dunk rounding out the podium. Head to the website for the full points table.
