Tauranga take out 2008 TR Nats

Raglan Information Centre — Wed, 07 May 2008 06:53:19 +0000

The 2008 NZ Secondary School’s regatta is over with Tauranga coming out on top over Mahurangi, followed by McLeans and then Westlake Boys.

There was all sorts of weather and students from 24 schools around the country competed.

Our sailors from Hamilton Boy’s High stepped up to the plate and punched above their weight in a heavy-weight and often intense competition.

Good on ya, HBHS!

Development Squad
Rules Workshop

Wednesday April 2
1630 – 1830 @ HYC

This is a workshop for all squad members with some emphasis on team racing but generally applicable to all sailing.

Learn easier ways to remember the rules and how to apply them by:

Thinking about the purpose of the rules
Knowing your obligations when you have right-of-way
Understanding your protection when you are a give-way boat
Visualising common scenarios

This workshop will be in a guided discussion format and the notes we make and the topics that come up will contribute to a squad rules and tactics handbook.

All squad sailors, parents and other interested parties welcome.
Copies of RRS Part 2 provided
Bring a pen and paper
Refreshments will not be provided
