Another fine Mahurangi regatta. We took a load of new people out for rows, showed off a bit of pace with some sprints up and down the beach and rowed out to watch some very exciting classic yacht racing.
Mark Robinson (St Ayles builder extraordinaire ) took out first equal in the small dinghy rowing race, Rowing a lovely little clinker he designed and built.

Our crew from Cygnet, Tasmania, so enjoyed that regatta with you all last year. Hard to believe it was a year ago!
Speaking for the regatta organisers, it was grand to have you here last year, and hope your next raid here coincides with a Mahurangi Regatta.
(The regatta always falls on the Saturday of Auckland Anniversary weekend, the Monday of which is the last in January, even if it’s the 1st of February—long story!)
