Delightful day out on the water for the last race of the Winter Series. Quite the contrast to Saturdays blasting. Thank goodness we made it out for the last 2 races 🥳
Winter Series Prizegiving is coming Sunday 26 September
Legends Regatta! 22-25 October.
Legends Regatta has always been about participation and fun without lots of racing pressure - unless you like that - in which case, go 💯. But if you get becalmed, the beer’s getting warm or someone feels queasy and you just want to get there….we have a solution - the motoring clause. Stay in the race but use a time/speed penalty and get there faster while still enjoying being on the water.
Thanks to Wild Kiwi for sponsoring the regatta this year.
NOR, SI and entry now up on the website.
Racing is back on this weekend, handicaps will be posted on the website Thursday evening for 2 handed; Friday for Sunday's racing. Details regarding prizegiving have been sent to skippers. See you all out on the water!
There are so many reasons to get a crew together and join in the fun for the 2021 First Mortgage Trust Legends Regatta. If you’ve never been part of the regatta before, make 2021 is your year.
If you're not quite sure about how it works or have any questions about the event, reach out via the FB chat or email Legends@mmyc.org
Sailing Instructions and Entry will be out soon.
Shout out and thanks to McCormick Rigging Limited who have been sponsoring this regatta for many-a-year.
Hope everyone is doing OK in lockdown. Slight change of plan on the last posting.

Good reaching breeze outside the harbour, tricky against the tide coming back through the entrance, a couple of rocky encounters!
On the other side of these coldish winter days, the 2021 First Mortgage Trust Legends Regatta awaits! Roll on the summer boating season and the legendary Legends.
We are grateful to Burton for sponsoring this year's regatta, so why not treat
yourself to a go-faster sail this year?
So the phone is still uploading photos from its underwater location….. Some pictures of Yesterdays events
Please BE ADVISED of the following notice to all competitors for all divisions in the MMYC winter series amending Rule 1 and 12. This will also be emailed to all skippers in the winter series.
The amended Sailing Instructions are published on the website under Club Programme/ Downloads.
The change to Rule 1 has been put in place to promote compliance with the local bylaws in place requiring competitors in MMYC races to keep clear of all shipping movements in Tauranga Harbour.
The change to Rule 12 has been made to clarify boats OCS within 1 minute of race start.
All boats are also reminded to monitor channel 77 for communications by the race committee to competitors.
See you all out there on Sunday.
