WELCOME
Welcome to the nineteenth regatta here in the beautiful Bay of Islands. From small beginnings
with just thirty seven boats in 2003, entries now top one hundred each year. It has become a firm
fixture on the New Zealand yachting calendar.
Last year we worked to become a more sustainable regatta therefore minimising the effect on
the environment. We were very pleased to be awarded gold status which shows the effort you all
made to help recycle and reduce waste. This year we are taking another step in this direction by
following the example of other regattas and having the Sailing Instructions on our App. and online.
Please continue to help us with our efforts as we aim to achieve platinum status.
Thank you to all our volunteers, both on and off the water, who give up their time to make this
event such a success. Thanks also to our sponsors who support us every year, even in the
uncertain times we are facing at the moment.
Wishing you a great regatta and look forward to seeing you again next year for twentieth regatta.
Nina

23.1 RRS 3 of the Racing Rules of Sailing States: “The
responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a
race or continue racing is hers alone”. Sailing is by its
nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently
involves an element of risk.
By taking part in a event, each competitor agrees and
acknowledges that:
a) They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved
in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure
of themselves, their crew, and their boat to such
inherent risk whilst taking part in the event;
b) They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their
crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat
or ashore;
c) They accept responsibility for any injury, damage
or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or
omission;
d) Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the
event and they are fit to participate;
e) The provision of a race management team, patrol;
boats and other officials and volunteers by the
event organiser does not relieve them of their own
