This annual event, sponsored by the Russell Boating Club, is one of the highlights of summer sailing in the Bay.

Freewind will be sailing through the fleet of tall ships and classic yachts which come to the Bay of Islands every year to take part in this gathering. It is an unforgettable experience and a great photo opportunity.

On Saturday, regatta boats and spectator boats of all ages, shapes and sizes will be sailing the Bay in a  memorable collection  of sail and colour. It is a light-hearted race, where classic boat owners and sailors young and old share their love of traditional sailing boats with the aim of having a good sail and lots of fun.


If you want to join the spectator boat fleet on board Freewind, be sure to book early to secure a bunk on our overnight trip for Januray 8/9th 2011, on our website, www.sailbayofislands.com .

See you there,
Ron
