Loyal Careys Bay Winter Series
We know how keen you all are to get back out on the water but it's with huge reluctance that the second race of the Winter Series will not go ahead this Sunday. The requirements for social distancing and restrictions on numbers make it difficult to run this race in the true spirit of the Winter Series.
The next race is planned for Sunday 21st June.
I'm sure however that many of you will be out on the water anyway so stay safe and enjoy!

Hopefully not too much longer until we can get back out on the water, but in the meantime for those suffering withdrawal symptoms here’s a chance to participate in a series of events throughout May to find NZ’s top eSailor.
If there’s interest from our members we’ll host our own Virtual Regatta club champ’s with the winner proceeding to the next stage of the challenge. Further details in the link from Grass Roots Sailing NZ

Who is the best keyboard yachtie in NZ?
New Zealand moved into alert level 3 today. Sailing and boating is still not allowed but windsurfing is OK if it is done safely within 200m of shore.
Due to the rapidly changing situation around Covid-19, it is with regret that Port Chalmers Yacht Club is cancelling all Club sailing events for the remainder of the season.
This includes but is not limited to:
This weekend’s Anniversary Regatta
All Learn to Sail and Coaching activities
Ladies Skippers and Forward Hands Race
The Old Salts Race, Rosebowl Trophy Race and Closing Day
As a small club we do not have the resources to be constantly cleaning public surfaces so we ask that you please limit the use of clubhouse (including toilets and showers).
This decision was not made lightly, however Port Chalmers Yacht Club is serious about the health and well-being of our members and our Community.
On behalf of the Committee, we wish for you all to stay safe and well.
