Racing & PHRF National Championships
Not long now until the Port Nicholson Regatta 2012 gets underway!
The PHRF Nationals will be sailed as part of the Port Nicholson Regatta 2012, with the intention to have two divisions. This year John and Linda Parrish will again be running some fantastic racing in Wellington Harbour. Having increased the number of races we intend to sail to nine, 2012 looks like it will be a fun and challenging event
Saucy Sausage Wins 2011 Port Nicholson Regatta
Saucy Sausage (Herve le Goff) has been named the 2011 Port Nicholson Regatta Champion. Saucy Sausage won division C on both general handicap and PHRF and was considered by the race committee to be the best performer during the regatta.
Saucy Sausage has become the inaugural winner of the Ross Telford Memorial Trophy.
Regatta MC Paul Davies said: "My strongest memory of Ross was that he was always out on the water, no matter what the event, no matter what the weather. The winner of this trophy, as well as performing – and winning consistently throughout this weekend – does just as Doughy did – they are out sailing no matter what the race – no matter what the conditions – and giving it their all."
Champagne Sailing
It was champagne sailing over three days on Wellington Harbour for the 2011 Port Nicholson Regatta. Sailors were treated to a combintaion of windward leeward racing and harbour courses in winds ranging from 10 to 20 knots.
In the A division the battle of the sports boats against the longer water line displacement keelboats was intriguing with the gains made by the keelbats upwind wiped out by the sports boats when they came to go downwind. Meanwhile racing was tight in the B division with less than a minute seperating the fleet at the bottom mark in many of the windward leeward courses. Then came the ultra competitive C Division which provided the eventual overall winner of the regatta - Saucy Sauasage.
After seven races places at the top of each fleet were very close with the following yachts taking out the podium in each division
