Racing at Torbay Sailing Club in 25 knots on shore which provided some interesting waves to negotiate. All the Weta sailors really enjoyed the challenging conditions. Again the self tacking jib performed flawlessly but the skipper has work to do in the agility department.

After a chilly couple of cold and wet days Timaru dawned clear, bright and warm against the white mountain backdrop. We kicked off mid-morning with David Kennett down from Christchurch joining the four Timaru Wetas to lead a boat set-up discussion. Great session thanks David.

I've always wanted to sail my Weta wherever I wanted, and a trailer makes that possible to a large degree. The ability of this boat to explore harbours and coastal areas, accessible by road and a beach or ramp, has spoiled me for choice as far as it goes.
