DATE & VENUE FOR 2012 470 NATIONALS

Would like to introduce a policy of annually holding the NZ 470 Nationals the weekend following Sail Auckland. This year the organisers of Sail AK have not yet resolved a date or venue, but it is likely a similar regatta may be held under a different name. We assume this will be 9,10,11,12 February.

 

On this basis, it was decided to hold the 2012 NZ 470 Nationals on 17, 18 & 19 February. If Sail Auckland, or itÕs equivalent, takes this date we will apply to have it changed.

 

Venue – it was decided to approach Taurange, Manly or Wakatere, with a preference in this order. CH to contact clubs in order.



 DATE & VENUE FOR NORTH ISLANDS
