Course One it is!

We can confirm that Race 2 of the Pita Pit Summer of Racing; todays 15km downwind race will be contested over "Course One" - Birkenhead Wharf to Takapuna.

I know the weather looks pretty benign right now but wind guru is predicting 20 knot SW winds gusting up to 25, the showers are also predicted to clear in time for the start and the BBQ after, so it is def going to be a good day.


Don't forget


  • Rego opens at Taka at midday


  • Compulsory Race Briefing at Taka at 12.30


  • Head to start at 1ish


  • Race starts at 2pm



Please remember all your safety equipment - PFD, High Viz vest and a leash and cell phone if you want to be extra safe

Looking Goooooood for Sunday




It is looking like we are going to have some great downwind conditions on Sunday for race 2 of the Pita Pit Summer of Racing – the 15km Downwind Race finishing at Takapuna.



At this stage both Wind Guru and Met Service are predicting 20 knot SW winds which means we will probably go with our Birkenhead Wharf to Takapuna Course, which will be a blast in the outgoing tide, not to mention the perfect build up to KOH a week later.


So if you haven’t already entered then flick Katie an email at katiepo@ihug.co.nz or a phone call or text on 021 932 116 ASAP to register your interest. If she hears from you before midnight tonight it is only $25, but after that it is $40, NO EXCEPTIONS.


Don’t forget there are hot spots and cash prizes as well as the 3 person teams competition for the over 50s and the under 50s, so LOADS to race for
