Mahurangi Regatta

Scores of classic yachts and wooden boats gathered off Sullivans Bay last month for the annual Mahurangi Regatta.

Wind conditions took the racing offshore to the south west, leaving spectators who turned up at Scotts Landing with little to see until the traditional prizegiving and dance later in the day.

As well as the ocean racing, there were shoreline activities including traditional children’s races, sand sculpture and a parade of classic launches. Picture credit: R M Topping.
