CANCELLED: Oamaru Harbour Regatta
"It is with regret that Waitaha PC cancels the Oamaru Harbour Event scheduled for the 8th and 9th of April 2022. This decision is based on a number of safety points that became obvious after a test run over the proposed courses and an unwillingness to put potential competitors and volunteers at risk. A big thanks to Tara from WANZ and Kevin from Oamaru Yacht and Powerboat Club who made the planning process to this point so much easier."

Race Update - Whakaraupō Chase
The event has now been split into two dates: 4th March 2022 - W1 & W2 only AND 30th April 2022 - W6 only (teams must re-enter for the W6 event). “After much discussion we have decided to postpone the Mini, Midi and Mega races of the Whākaraupo Chase until April 30th. With Covid 19 cases ramping up, and the pressure this puts on the health care system, we feel a responsibility to do our bit to slow the spread and protect our community. The W1 & W2 race will still run this Friday 4th March at 6:00pm.Thanks for your understanding with this, as you can appreciate these are difficult calls to make. Ngā mihi, The Chase Team”
