CIORC is Yachting New Zealand’s Cruising Inshore and Offshore Racing Committee. Formerly KORC, this new committee was formed a year ago, and has since been meeting regularly to discuss and further interests of both competitive and recreational sailors in keelboats, trailer yachts and multihull yachts.
Another busy month has come and gone. The beginning of 2015 is flying by! Since returning from Miami in early February, I have been back into my NZ summer training routine that has included lots of sailing and fitness work. The conditions have been ideal to work on some areas that were identified from racing in Miami, and it has been awesome to see some gains there. Besides having all the other NZ Laser guys out to train with, I have also been fortunate to have a group of international sailors training with us off off Takapuna for the past month which has made training that much more intense and beneficial.
