Run down of the Lawsons Dry Hills New Year Regatta 2019

Zhik crew member, Emily Dimock, took part in the Lawson's Dry Hills New Year Regatta last weekend in Waikawa and gave us her own run down on the regatta, including congratulating overall winner, Claudia Pierce!

Congratulations to Claudia Pierce and her crew on Young 11 Kaimai Flyer (RPNYC) for taking out the Lawson’s Dry Hills New Year Regatta 2019, held in the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound over 12-13 January. 

43 boats competed across five divisions, including a sports boat division for the first time - this was won with consistently strong performances by Nigel Wallis and Shane Smith’s Overspray (Elliot 780, NPCL).

A strong Young 88 fleet saw every race won on line by Craig Edwards’ Flying Machine (NPYC). Close handicaps meant the overall Young 88 trophy went to near competition on Mike West’s Whistler 3 (RPNYC).

Stunning scenery, fantastic local hospitality and tricky gusts are hallmarks of this regatta, making it a summer highlight for over 100 sailors from Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Blenheim and Picton. 

Incredibly well organised by the Waikawa Boating Club, if you’re a keelboat or sports boat sailor this is definitely a regatta to add to your summer plans. 

Thank you to all the race officials, volunteers and sailors for a fantastic and memorable weekend. Photo cred: Emily Dimock.
