Due to the recent extreme weather and the forecast for strong winds on
Saturday the decision has reluctantly been made by the Mahurangi Regatta
Committee to cancel this year’s event.
A number of factors including the following have contributed to our decision:
•
The road into West Mahurangi has been closed due to a major slip
•
Accessing the big marquee from west Mahurangi is currently not possible
•
Access to Sullivans Bay may not be possible for Saturday
•
Sodden ground at Scotts Landing will restrict vehicle access for event setup
•
High winds and ground conditions at Scotts Landing affect the viability of
erecting the big marquee (even if we were able to transport it from West
Mahurangi)
•
Strong westerly winds on Saturday will make anchoring off Scotts Landing
untenable
