Time is flying by - The Bay of Islands Sailing Week January 2010, will be here before you know it! Perhaps it's time now to make that first 'announcement of intent' - giving crew plenty of notice to organise their dates to race in the Bay. We all need something to look forward to - to plan for - find the time and make the Bay Regatta a 'positive' for 2010.
www.bayofislandssailingweek.org.nzwebsite is being upgraded 'as we speak'. It will be there for YOU, efficient, easy, and enlightening. Please bear with us while we bring this to fruition - the estimate is two to three months.
Our loyal Sponsors are positive - we will begin their listings next month
General background of our Bay of Islands Sailing Regatta
In 2010 we will be eight years old.
The very first Regatta was held at Opua in the Bay of Islands January 2003 with thirty eight yachts competing. The regatta has grown in popularity, with changes every year to add interest and excitement. The sailing is competitive, a renewing of friendships with excitement and the laughter - it doesn't get better.
The Bay of Islands Sailing Week is organised as an incorporated society, comprised of representatives from Kerikeri, Russell, Bay of Islands and Opua Yacht Clubs. The Bay Regatta is non profit and runs on an annual basis; as such, any profit gained from the event is reinvested back into the event.
Stay in touch - Our thanks for active support and participation in past Bay of Island Sailing weeks. 2010 will be 'even better'
Watch out for monthly Regatta Ramblings.
