🚤 KINGS BIRTHDAY WEEKEND – WE NEED YOU (AND YOUR BOAT)

Right… before you tuck the boat away and pretend winter’s a personality… hold up a minute 😏

We’ve got two epic days of racing coming up with the Waitaki Recreational & Boating Club, and we need a few legends on the water to help make it happen.

📍 Saturday – Lake Benmore (12 safety boats needed)
📍 Sunday – Lake Aviemore (8 safety boats needed)

This is your chance to:

* Get right in amongst the action (closer than any spectator spot)
* Be part of the racing crew without needing a race boat
* Help keep the sport safe, strong, and growing

⸻

What’s in it for you?
🍻 A few cold ones on us afterwards
🥪 Hearty snacks to keep you fuelled on the water
🚤 A crack at a boating time trial / skill challenge once racing wraps up
😎 Front row seat to some seriously good New Zealand Boat Marathon Commission racing.

If you can help, message us here or give Brent a call or text on 027 5255505.

⸻

Details:
⏰ Safety briefing – 8:30am each morning
📍 Launch, get set, and you’re part of the team

⸻

Let’s be honest…
You weren’t really going to winterise the boat just yet anyway.

So dust it off, round up a mate, and come be part of something bloody good.
