Thanks to everyone who helped make our 2017 Centreboard Cup so much fun, and for Nick and Tim of Hopetoun Brown for entertaining us with such style. Photos are available in this album and on our Facebook page. ————————— This year’s Sloanes Beach Regatta and Centreboard Cup at Sloanes Beach, 33/35 Marine Parade, Herne Bay, is scheduled for Saturday December 9th 2017.
We will be running our usual mix of childrens’ games, mucking about in boats, and around-Watchman-Island racing for centreboard boats big and small. As in past years, our racing will feature the historic Mullet boat fleet in all their glory. The racing starts at 11am 1200hrs (centreboard boats 18’ and over) and 1205 (for the smaller centreboarders), and will be run by the Ponsonby Cruising Club.
