Club v Club - who's on your team? 

Last year's race saw the rise of team entries again - and this prompted the NZ Multihull Yacht Club to look at the rules around this race within the race. Details were notified in early September in Amendment 2 of the Notice of Race, found on the Regatta Documents webpage or in the race App. 

Essentially - teams are assembled of four boats from the same club and this year, multihulls are eligible to be ranked alongside monohulls. The first team to enter is representing Wakatere Boating Club: Exodus, Beau Geste, Lovaluck and Surreal.

Insurance insights: things to be aware of when buying a piece of paper

Dan Garner of PIC Insurance Brokers took a good chunk of time out of a busy day to write down some market insights and top tips for buying insurance... 

"Insurance is never going to be the most exciting thing in your life, I hope. For most people, until something (probably bad) happens, insurance is just a piece of paper that’s thrown into the bottom of a drawer, or just another email in an ever-growing inbox.

By definition, “Insurance is a contract, represented by a policy, in which an individual or entity receives financial protection or reimbursement against losses…” There are loads of types of insurance, each with a huge range of conditions and requirements. Most people are broadly aware of what they’re covered for, how many read the various documents and policy wordings, taking the time to truly understand them? Not many… if any. Read on

We are so pleased that our long-term event partner PredictWind is back on board with us again in 2019 to provide the live tracking for familiy and friends to follow the race. Make sure to download and test your device early - more instructions coming directly to skippers soon! 

Is anybody else hanging out for the forecast??
