Keeler Summer Series Saturday 17th January 2026
Saturday was a perfect day for the start of the summer racing. Considering the weather that followed, we were lucky. Just to give you an idea of rainfall totals, l tipped out 455mls of rain recorded here in Coromandel since I got home on Monday. I had to get a mate to help me get on the mooring as the southeast wind gusts made it really hard with the floats on deck.
We had 6 boats turn up for the start, and I'm sure everybody had a good afternoon. There was a bit of argie bargie on the start line for the first race, and l could hear a bit of shouting going on even with my hearing. Focal point had a great start in the second race and just bolted.

No racing today Sunday 25 January, but three intrepid sailors, Dave, Markus and Matt took to the water in quite gusty condinions for a sail.
