Great weather, fun racing, and the highlight of the weekend was Jan and Graham's organizing and hospitality.

Great turn out at the Waitara event. 22 boats of all shapes and sizes turned up. A fun day of eventing, run buy the Keegan Whanau. I even managed a third place. The Us V's Rest was won but The Rest this year, sad Naki, better luck next year. As Cobba said great weather , there was some really sun burnt people that afternoon. BBQ fantastic.

Follow up 2013

Hi Seagullers, Another very successful day in Waitara, the day was a “ripper” with many old farts ending up with reddened solar panels, those with hair and hats faired a little better, what a great venue for a day event. Thanks to all who came and joined us on our fun day, you are the ones that make it all worth while. This year Graham was unable to take the boat out so our grandson Jamie stepped up and competed in his place. Thanks to all who helped us getting everything ready especially family, local friends and Paul who came and stayed to help out. Also thanks to Gavin and Judy Fabish (THE NAKI) boat, who kindly donated the prizes for placings, and worked tirelessly for us. We really appreciated it. Jan & Graham Simply Seagulls

Here are the overall results.Sprint race 1st Andy and Holly Murray, 2nd Gavin Fabish, 3rd John Leith.

Overall winners for the next three races were: 4.5 h.p. 1st J.C. , 2nd equalPaul Gilchrist, Gavin Fabish, Jamie Carr, and Tony Kunac, 3rd Mark McMurtry

Shame we couldn't make it. Would have loved to see Jan & Graham's neck of the woods. We were broke from buying new motors and some better camera equipment. Besides, Paris 70' went like such a dog at Whangamata that we needed to make an improvement before showing our faces again! When and where is the next event?
