New Plymouth Yacht Club Web Site

New Plymouth has a new Site to have a look at.

Hosted at sportsground it is a big improvement over the old Domain named site which proved to be a maintenance and update issue for members.

The new hosting site is designed to allow updates to be made easily by anyone with the minimum of experiance.

As usual, the preference is to go to sea, then the river, then Putiki. We will try for a mixed format of long races (Mowhanau), Olympic style at sea, triangles in river, match racing, poker race etc. ALL centre boarders welcome. Just a cruise up the coast is considered also. There is a possibility of a Manawatu to Wanganui cruise also if conditions allow it.

Please let Linzi (3482030)or Kelvin(3472974) know if you are interested in this series so we can form a phone list.
