THE GREAT RACE NORTH

If there is one race that you do this year, make it the PIC Insurance Brokers Coastal Classic. This challenging coastal race is one of the biggest of its type in the world, and it's long marked the opening of the summer sailing season for many hundreds of Kiwi boaties.

Who

Any 88 with a YNZ Cat 3 Safety Certificate MINUS LIFE RAFT! Need a new one? Find out all the details here 

What
From the start in the vicinity of Devonport Wharf and Orakei, leave Little Barrier and The Poor Knights to Starboard, to the finish off Russell Wharf in the Bay of Islands. 110nm downwind blast to the Bay of Islands (Weather permitting!)

We have been offered a class division for 6 or more boats, and opting to go 4 handed so everyone gets a bunk!

Don't like spinnakers? Sail no extras .. you wont be the only one and there is not a lot of speed difference.
