ABOUT 2017 OCEANBRIDGE NZL SAILING REGATTA
The Oceanbridge NZL Sailing Regatta is set to take place at Murrays Bay Sailing Club from February 3-6. The new and exciting event targeted at youth and Olympic classes will encompass three days of racing over two courses on February 4-6.
Classes taking part include: 420, 29er, 49er, 49erFX, Finn, Laser, Laser Radial, Nacra17 and the RS:X.
The Oceanbridge NZL Sailing Regatta is made possible only thanks to the contributions from principle sponsor Oceanbridge, and Yachting New Zealand sponsors: Aon, HRG, Nespresso, Volvo, and Zhik.
Equally important is a team of more than 70 volunteers who are behind the success of this regatta.
