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.
