AWSS… Let’s go sailing!!!

What a fantastic start we had to the AWSS at Pt Chev on 19^th June with over 35 high engaged optimist sailors.  Our amazing NZIODA Coach Susannah Pyatt has put together this training video at Pt Chev.  Click here to view. 

The second regatta in the six-stage Auckland Winter Sprint Series (AWSS) takes place at KYC on Saturday 3rd July.

The AWSS is a six series regatta hosted around different Auckland sailing clubs:

Pt Chev 19^th June
KYC 3^rd July – OWNZ Boats available
MBSC 31^st July
WBC 14^th August
KYC 28^th August  – OWNZ Boats available

The last race in the series will be incorporated MBSC Icebreaker in Sept 2021.

So, dust off those winter blues and get involved in one of Auckland’s most iconic winter sailing events! It’s fun and competitive and there’s no better or safer way for your young sailors to test themselves in winter conditions.
