W1 Harbour Series (II), 13 June, results

Posted on by

What a turn-out! 15 paddlers battled it out today, forget the rain and the cold wind, the serious paddlers still turn up, no matter what. That’s the spirit!

By the way, you will be able to catch a glimpse of one of the spot prices before the next race.

The distance was 10.2km (Mana around the reef, to Browns Bay and back to Mana).

Below the results. Many thanks to Selena for time keeping. If the age group or something else is incorrect please let Joern know.

Great result for Wellington teams at Takapuna Cup

Posted on by

Well done to all Wellington teams that recently participated at Takapuna Cup in Auckland.

Team Kokiri defended their title from last year, again finishing first in the Women’s division.

Mana Menz came second in the Masters division, a great result and improvement on last year.

Team Makaira (photo below) came 8th in the Open division, a good result considering that most team members were new to the change over game and the ‘lost’ support boat. This is a good basis for next year’s event and Vaka Eiva in Rarotonga later this year, we will see more of Team Makaira in the future.

Team Kika from Aniuwaru came 18th in the Open division.

Congratulations to all paddlers from Hoe Tonga who battled blustery conditions at our last W6 Regional Sprints (II) before Nationals 2010, particularly the intermediate boys and girls who perhaps had the worst conditions, you were awesome!

Volunteers – the organising committee can not thank you enough over the last 3 regattas the support has been fantastic!  Just to mention a few who have been able to mentor and support the growing  number of new volunteers within the region:
Support Boat Crew – John Hodges, Dennis Ngatai, Dave Ryde, Brendon Comerford and Laurence from Nga Waka
Registration: Katie Townsend, Raukawa Comerford and Mere Elkington
Loading Bay: Averalle and Keith Paenga, Karmen Wallace, Charmaine Matiaha, Chris Fox and Daniel Albert (fantastic commentary)
Finish Line: Marinna Millanta-Lowrey

A big thanks to the sub-committees who have taken on board the task of organising each event which each year gets larger in numbers and provides some exciting paddling : Joern Scherzer, Chris Fox, Katie Townsend, Raukawa Comerford and Mere Elkington.

On behalf of Hoe Tonga keep safe over the break and enjoy time on the water, we will see you all at Nationals, January 2010!
