Zephyr - Zephyr 2017 Auckland Championships Tim Nichols
In conjunction with the Jollyboats, the Zephyr Association contested their Auckland Championship over the weekend of the 18th and 19th March at Howick Sailing Club.
The regatta was held over two days in stunning conditions, with the first day serving up challenging 15-17 knot winds from the South West and the second day bringing light 6-8 knot conditions from the North after a 2 hour delay due to lack of wind. Richard Lane, Howick’s Principal Race Officer, ran 4 very tight races on Saturday and a further 3 on Sunday to give the sailors a superb 7 race Series.
The overall winner was Tim Sneddon RNZYS, 3 points back was Marray Sargisson from French Bay and a further 3 points back was Steve Pyatt from Murrays Bay.
The event was a great success with a spit roast on the Saturday night giving sailors a chance to wind down and share their experiences from the day.
