All Fingers and Thoms

NZ Laser glitteratti and past World Champions Mark Orams, Murray Thom and Mark Page preparing to head south for the highly enjoyable NZ Laser Champs hosted by the hospitable Worser Bay on Wellington.
In a rare moment Mr Page manages to upstage Murray with a finger fresh from A&E. Apparently the result of a workplace accident, not a domestic dispute as originally reported. Despite the discomfort Mark sailed all races although the finger was deemed a shipping hazard by the Wellington Harbour Master.

See how they went, along with all the rest of us.

2013 NZ Laser National Champs in Napier

The 2013 NZ Laser National Champs will be hosted by the Napier Sailing Club.
The provisional schedule is

  • Wednesday 16th January - Measuring & Registration
  • Thursday 17th ro Sunday 20th - Racing

It is likely we will also have coaching days prior to the Wednesday.

Napier is a fantasic sailing venue. Particulalry in East and North East winds which bring big long amplitude swells straight across the sailing area off the port.
