The Safety Governance for this event are the Wellington Regional Council Harbour bylaws..........view the Wellington Maritime Bylaws link on the left of the page

We need to see people with leg leashes and PFD's. There are no safety craft, so personal responsibility for your own actions will apply on the water. We'll do what we should be doing, and that's to run a safe and practical event for the craft we are catering for. 

The current forecast is for Northerlies of around 39 kmh parts of the course will be sheltered and parts will be exposed to wind gusts of around 50 kmh.

We have a high tide at around midday.
