Spinnakers in flight

For the first time in many years, we have some Venturers who are keen on getting the spinnakers out on the Sunbursts and learning how to use them.  The venturer leaders and Grant assisted them on Wednesday night to get it all rigged up and sailing.  Mother nature recognized this auspicious occasion by colour matching the sky. A great evening of mucking about in boats

Below are a couple of beautiful pictures:

Onepoto Regatta

Fantastic weather and a fantastic attitude brought us an unexpected result.  Victory at our home regatta!

There were some superb individuals in all age groups. Some for their ability to do the competition stuff really well, and some who were just there to be involved and have fun.  Smiles were witnessed all around.  

Some special mentions (and these are certainly not all as I am only one person and can't be everywhere)

  • The venturers for just getting on and doing it, whenever they were asked, whatever they were asked.
  • Ruan and Rosie producing a photo finish in the Intermediate Sunburst race, which gave the group the win, whichever way it went.
  • Our Juniors in the rowing, pouring out heart and soul over the long course and even getting the technique right
  • Hannah and Bronson for bringing home Kayaking victories.
  • Zoe and Maddy for helping the Leaders claim a Cutter sailing victory
I said this last year and I will repeat it this year.  Ngati Toa as a group really pull together at these events and just get everything done.
