Heaven N Hell competing in the 2008 Half Moon Bay and Howick Rotary Clubs Regatta SW

Every year , for the last 20 year, Half Moon Bay and Howick Rotary Clubs , Auckland, freely give their time, to raise funds for worthy causes by initiating a Yacht Regatta.

Boat owners / skippers generously give their time and their boats freely for the day and take sponsors and their clients and or staff out for the day to enjoy a day on the Auckland harbour among over 50 other yachts and their sponsors and crew.

Sponsors are always sought to buy the boat for a day ranging from a 4 person boat size to a 12 person boat size, that is boats between 25ft and 50 ft. length. To get more information go to the web site www.yachtregatta.org.nz for full details for the 2010 regatta to be held on Friday, 26th March 2010.

The one of payment covers everything , from, breakfast, lunch , dinner and refreshments.

The Major of Manukau is expected to address the participants at the end of the day.

Without the generosity of the boat owners, their would be no boats to sell. We are always looking for boat owners who are wishing to support our charity effort , have fun for the day, network with business personnel, make new friends and renew old aquaintances. Any boat owner who would like to participate all details are on the web, www.yachtregatta.org.nz and more detail for skippers...use the password ' skippers'.

Skippers and a first mate, participate in the meals and refreshments free.

Various prizes for skippers are also drawn during the dinner as well as spot prises for all.

A DVD of previous events is available on request...contact email is andy@thermo.co.nz

We look forward to seeing as many sponsors, skippers and crew as possible to make this event one of the largest in Australasia.
