The Great Annual Waikato River Seagull Outboard Regatta 2024

Post by Nudge »

A few pictures from the great race. weather was perfect, tiny bit of rain on the Friday and that was it. water levels were low again and there were many sandbanks and logs. No mishaps, other than a few broken prop springs on logs and sandbanks.
we where lucky and only skimmed one sand bank. we had a home made GPS tracker that we used to plot where we had been.

there were only 12 boats with seagulls that started, and 4 max 8hp that joined us for the run.

easy to see why we almost hit the sand bank from google

Your Tracker Gizmo is impressive!

The Bath Tub boat is a nice shape, does the bathtub act as a sea toilet?

Thanks for the pics!
