Mclass Association

04-03-2010

Welcome

This site has been established to acquaint, or in some cases re-acquaint, you with the last of the big, unballasted centreboard dinghies racing in New Zealand - the Emmy, as the M-Class Yacht is affectionately known by her many admirers.

**Today's meeting - 4 March****

Akarana at 7:30pm

****Important Changes to Race Dates****

We have also been rearranging dates and a proper note will come out soon but the Logan has been moved to much later in the season as the Louis Vuitton has stolen the harbour over our planned period.

We are now looking at the Logan on Saturday 17 April which is after both Easter and the school holidays.

Scott Wilson dates will also be moved and this will be confirmed shortly.

In the interim you have more time to get ready and practice.

History

The M-Class Yacht has a fascinating history which we have attempted to briefly outline for you on our History page.

Boat show 2009

The Emmy display at the boat show has been completed with the stand well received by all who visited. Plenty of former members viewed the stand and filled in more than a few stories of the history of both the boats and the class, and all were impressed with the standard of the three boats on display. Many visitors remarked how good it was to see high class traditional wooden boats on display and how great it was that this tradition is being continued.

Importantly for us many prospective new members signed up to join the class and we will soon be writing to all those people to advise them of when we will be getting together to begin the new season. Skippers seeking new crew for the upcoming season should contact the chairman (Surely they cant be worse than what we’ve got).

Many thanks to those of you who gave of your time and effort to support the show.
