Find a ‘Luv’ for sailing

Perfect weather on Sunday is expected to bring people in droves onto the harbour for the Bartercard Fun Sail and the Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club's open day on Sunday.


‘The Luv Boat' on which people can enjoy an afternoon on Tauranga Harbour on Fathers' Day, this Sunday.

Clear skies and light winds are forecast, and on Friday there were places on the ‘Bartercard Father's Day Family Fun Sail' and on the ‘SunLive Luv Boat Cruise' still available.

Bookings are recommended for the Family Fun Day sail.

Those intending to spend a couple of hours sailing the harbour aboard one of the club member's yachts are expected to turn up before noon for a briefing before making their way to the yacht.

It is the sixth year the popular youth sailing fundraiser has been held on the harbour.

The yacht club ‘Open Day' runs from 12 noon to 5pm.

Club members from the various divisions will be on hand with information relevant to their division, plus there'll be demonstrations on how to rig up dinghies and windsurfers, and a lolly scramble at 4.45pm.

'This is going to be an amazing day to showcase the club, as visitors will get to see the keelers and large multi-hulls right in front of the club,” says Fun Sail organiser Roy Walmsley.

'There's also a Trailer Yacht regatta, and the Tauranga Boys' College Teams Racing Squad will be out there training in the International 420's.

'They're training for the Inter-Doms with Australia in Port Lincoln, in November.

'It's going to be one of the busiest days seen on the harbour. The Mount Yacht Club, also has a race on.”
