Hello to all owners!

I presently own Pelin Cherry 16 “Cheerio” T827 and sail on the Manukau Harbour.

Weymouth Yacht Club in South Auckland is keen to promote semi casual racing (and organised cruising) for small trailer yachts.

We are hoping for Cherry's, Quicksilvers, Whitings, old Hartleys etc.

Larger boats are also welcome, especially Kestrels and Hartley 18s.

At this point we are running casual races with a Beachcomber 22 (which lives nearby on a mooring,) a Quicksilver, and our Cherry, along with a few Sunbursts.  Depending on the conditions and course, all these boats have tasted victory.

Fast Hartley 16's and Noelex 22's enjoy serious racing at nearby Manukau Yacht and Motorboat Club, so this is a chance for those less serious sailors to come down and play in a safe environment. 

Our sailing area is usually between the Wiri LPG terminal, and the southern motorway near Papakura.

We have a summer race series through February and March, 2012, and next seasons program is now complete, ready for publication.
