ANZACs dominate entry list for Wellington OK Worlds

by Sail-World.com / Mandy Burts on 31 Jan 2010 The ANZAC's (Australia and New Zealand dominate the entry list in the solid fleet assembled for the 2010 OK Dinghy World Championships. There are in all 26 New Zealand crews, 21 Australian crews, nine from Germany, seven from GBR, four from Poland, three from Denmark, one from Sweden.

Today, Sunday 31st January, registration took place for the OK Nationals and Interdominions, with the first day’s racing due tomorrow – although the forecast for Day 1 does not look good. Thankfully, the long range forecast is much, much better.

The Wellington welcome from the weather Gods was strong southerlies, constant rain and mid-summer temperatures of only 15 degrees centigrade. The wind blew over the temporary fencing and signage erected at the boat park – sand bags had to be brought in to save the day.

Registration and the Briefing went smoothly, seeing the first ‘in situ’ long day for the race organisers and volunteers. A decision as to whether sailing will take place on Day 1 of the Nationals and Interdominions will be made first thing in the morning.

In the meantime, the bar at RPNYC is doing a steady trade with friendships being renewed and new associations being formed, whilst the Race Officers finalise details and ensure that all ‘I’s are dotted and all ‘T’s are crossed.

Here is the entry list for the World Championships by country.
