2015 JACK TAR AUCKLAND REGATTA
20 – 22 MARCH 2015
STILL TIME TO ENTER
LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 18 MARCH 1500 HOURS
Entries for the 2015 Jack Tar Auckland Regatta are still growing. Adding interest and pace to the event, the speed machines in the 8.5 Multihulls will also be competing for their national title, along with the Farr 1020 division who are doing their nationals. Organisers are delighted at the quality of the fleets and will be finalising divisions once entries close.
NEW BOAT ON THE BLOCK
After the sinking of Django owners AJ and Atka Reid have just christened their new arrival, Bakewell White designed YD37, Anarchy. The Jack Tar Auckland Regatta was their deadline to have her sailing. The boat is a testament to kiwi design and ingenuity. Big credit from the owners to the team at Yachting Developments. Work is progressing rapidly down at Westhaven to have her rigged and ready for Friday’s racing. She is insured by PIC Insurance Brokers and will be sporting a flash new wardrobe of Doyle Sails https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anarchy-Racing/788549611211774
