Mahurangi Classic Boat Regatta

We have been saying we would take our boat up and watch the classic boat regatta for years, we almost made it one year arriving just as the last boats finished. (that was the sail where we had the full rig up in a good 40 knots just to see how the boat handled. Not a bad idea until when we replaced the rigging a couple of years later we found out that the rigger could snap the wires with his bare hands!!). We did the usual dinghy trip up the river to Warkworth and watched the Regatta.
