2017 Auckland Women's Laser Champs Results

Auckland Women Laser Championships - 18th March

A gorgeous day, some Hawaiian leis and big smiles from the Kohimarama organisers welcomed on 18th March eight women representatives coming as far as Port Ohope and Hamilton It was great to see sailors from 7 different clubs that are championing women sailing supporting this event.

It was the girl's regatta at Kohimarama, so the laser women were surrounded by the future new pool of women laser sailors hopefully, who were competing in Optimists or Starlings for the top spot.

Michelle from Torbay Sailing Club won the day after some tough competition between Libby from Kohimarama, the previous 3 times women’s reigning champion, who came second and Georgina from Wakatere Boating Club came third. Heather enjoyed learned a lot about choppy sea conditions and capsizing and will take these learning to the Laser World Champs in April at Torbay. Taylor showed up the next day at the Club wondering why nobody was there.

We would like to thank Kohimarama Yacht Club and the team of volunteers for making this another successful Auckland Women Laser Champs. All ladies thoroughly enjoyed it and enjoyed the treats: the voucher to PredictWind, the white rose and all the goodies in the pack.
