Cheers Andy!

Well it looks like the 2012 Harbour Regatta is going to be a big day!

We’ll be starting at 10am with the official re-opening by the Mayor of
the historic Signal Hut, which has been restored and installed at the
top of the boat ramps near the Yacht & Powerboat Club.

The focus will then move to Friendly Bay, with the first Seagull
Outboard Motor race starting at 11am, followed by a variety of
sailing, rowing, and outboard motor races throughout the afternoon,
with novelty races and beach activities happening at the same time.

There will be bands playing during the day, and food and coffee will
be available. There will also be a boat-themed car-boot sale/swap
meet. Bring a picnic.

The Grand Finale of the afternoon will be the Port FM Birdman
Competition at Holmes Wharf from 3pm – get your wings on!

We’ll be publishing a race schedule in the next few weeks, but if you have any questions just email me. Volunteers on the day are essential, so if you would like to help out please let us know, or just turn up at the Tyne St Boatshed on the morning.

See you there,
Mike.

Flying 15 under restoration

“Hobbit”
Design/Class: Flying 15, fixed keel racing
yacht designed by Uffa Fox
(UK) in 1948.
Length – overall: 20’ (6.1m)
Length – waterline: 15’ (4.6m)
Beam: 5’ (1.5m)
Draught: 2’6” (0.76m)
Construction: plywood over frames.
Rig: Fractional racing sloop with spinnaker
Owner: The “Hobbit” was donated to the Friendly Bay Boat Soc. by retired Timaru yachtsman Brian Banks. It is an unusual hard-chine variation of the Flying 15 class, built in the 60’s in Invercargill, based on a modified design by Fox to suit the home-builder. The Hobbit bears sail number “1”, meaning it was the first hard-chine version registered in NZ. The original design is for a round-bilge cold-molded construction, and modern versions are in fibreglass. A very fast 2 crew boat!
