Townson keel boat owners have the opportunity to race in a 3 Race series regatta on 17 April 2010. The event will be held in conjunction with the Townson 32 Class Championships and will be a non spinnaker event.

As an inaugural event, the regatta will be held on the Saturday and will consist of two short course windward / leeward races and then an inner harbour course.

The Regatta will be a non spinnaker event in keeping with the cruising emphasis for which that most Townsons are used.

Bucklands Beach Yacht Club will be conducting the racing in the area between Browns Island, Rangitoto and Northern Leading beacon.
