Winter 2020
This winter, when lockdown is lifted and it is considered safe to operate small-scale events on the water, the Raglan Sailing Club in association with Waikato Thames Yachting Association will be hosting a Sail Ball Tournament in O’Pen Skiff dinghies (previously known as Bics).

We will be running a round robin with teams of 4 sailors each, concluding the day with a round of Finals as necessary to determine final placing. Teams will be mixed up so that they will be as even as possible, however you are welcome to request a team mate on your registration sheet. We will try to take into account requests as much as possible, but we may not be able to accommodate everybody.
The entry fee will be $15 if you are bringing your own boat. If you need to hire one from WTYA, the fee is $25.
This tournament is open to all age groups and levels. If you are too big to race O’Pen Skiffs, no worries, you can still play the game in them, as the playing field will be small and it is a game more about team work and strategy than it is about speed.
The Raglan Sailing Club is located at 95 Lorenzen Bay Road, Raglan. Once lockdown is lifted to a point where we are allowed to host this event safely, we will let you know as soon as we can what date we will have this event. It will likely be roughly one month after we have an all clear, to give us time to prepare accordingly.
Possible Dates:
- June 6th or 7th
- June 13th
- June 27th or 28th
- July 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, or 14th (school holidays?)
- July 25th or 26th
- Aug 8th or 9th
- Aug 22nd or 23rd
Once you have signed up and registered your interest, you will receive updates on day and time of event, as well as more detailed rules of the game in video form. If you have any questions, contact Kirsten by text or email 021 216 7522, coach@sailraglan.com
See you there!
