Twilight Series

Kupe Canoe Club will be running a Twilight Kayak race series on Tuesday evenings again this summer, in a simpler form than in previous years.

  • PFD's mandatory. Race safely and help anyone in trouble
  • Race start 6.30 for the first group from Hataitai Beach in most conditions up to 25 knots.
  • Cancellations on the Kupe Canoe Club Facebook page
  • No gaurantee that races will be timed or results published, so serious racers are encouraged to self time
  • Handicap race with self selected start groups setting off at 3 minute intervals, fastest group last
  • Typically course will be 6 km to 7 km selected to suit conditions
  • No race fee
Particular hazards
Give way to sailors on novice courses run from Evans Bay Yacht and Motorboat Club and give swimmers and fishermen plenty of room
