Panmure Lagoon Sailing Club has completed yet another very successful RSA Laser Regatta with participants coming from provinces of the far North, Taipa, Onerahi, Southern territories, the Waikato, Lake Ngaroto as well as locals such as French Bay, Weymouth and Pupuke.

A large fleet of Lasers hit the water in moderate Easterly breezes of 8 to 12 Knots & steady, giving the valiant laser sailors some very exciting and tactical sailing to get their teeth into. The local PLSC boys did prevail on the day with Dario Motta winning not only his Standard division but for the third consecutive year, the RSA Laser Trophy for overall winner and Kevin Welsh winning the Radial division. There were some very close battles fought throughout the day. Second Standard was Robert Bland from Pupuke and third, Paul Page, in the radial fleet Jim Quinn from French Bay came second followed by Grant Cooze from Onerahi.

Garth Briden, Jock Bilger with the help of Kim Ardmore kept the races turning over at great pace enabling the fleet to enjoy 5 races. This was followed by a yummy roast lamb on the spit & prize giving. Our sponsors this year have been very generous in their support of the PLSC Regatta which saw all those attending taking away spoils of the battle. Thanks goes to our sponsors for their continuous support; the RSA, CRC, PredictWind.com, Waipuna, Yeeha, Auckland Seaplanes, Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum, Auckland Marine Centre, The Watershed, Joy Adams Sails, Sugarcrafts, Survitecgroup, Boating NZ, YMCA, Boat books, Flyajet and Coromondel Cacti.
