Round North Island race cancelled

by Barry Davies

The 2010 BSport Telecom Round North Island Fully Crewed Race which was scheduled to start from Auckland on 6 February 2010, has been cancelled due to lack of entries.

The RNZYS has hosted two Round North Island Fully Crewed races, held in 2004 & 2007. The intention is to schedule the race every 3 years, before the SSANZ (Short Handed Sailing Association of New Zealand) 2 handed Round North Island Race, giving skippers a fantastic opportunity to sail around the North Island of New Zealand with a full crew before possibly taking on the race two- handed the following year. The 2010 event has been unfortunately cancelled due to a lack of entries received.
