The remnants of Cyclone Debbie played havoc with the racing schedule at the NZTYA Trailer Yacht Nationals held at Evans Bay over Easter. The RO wisely decided that winds of 25 – 35 knots, gusting 50 knots on Good Friday, would not provide ideal conditions for fair competition, abandoning racing until Easter Sunday. On Sunday the wind deserted us and conditions were almost too light, requiring one race to be abandoned due to lack of breeze as the wind direction swung from the north to the south. 6 races were completed on Sunday, with A Div dominated by the Ross 780s.
Racing was close - in 5 of the 6 races completed there was less than 5 minutes between 1st and last boats on corrected time
