NZL Nationals...
Manly Sailing Club at Whangaparaoa will be hosting the 2009 National Championship between February 18th- 22nd (5 days)
Yachting NZ have agreed that the event can be recognised as the official FW Nationals; the event is also "open" ( to competitors from outside NZL) and is consequently sanctioned as a Level 3 World Ranking event.
If you are thinking of attending our NZL representative - Ray Smith - would like to hear from you.
