NHM Hard n Fast and MOCC Taitamariki/Intermediate last series events are cancelled due to rāhui

Due to Saturday night's Rāhui Notice, placed for the whole Waitemata estuary from Highbrook all the way out past Bucklands, for seven days from today until Sunday next week, the Nga Hau Maiangi Hard n Fast Regatta 5 (8th August), and the Manukau Taitamariki/Intermediate race 5 (August 9th), have been cancelled. Unfortunately this is beyond our control and the clubs wish to respect the rāhui that has been paced in the estuary. The clubs would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all teams that have supported these two series, and wish all teams going to IVF Singapore all the best. Ngā mihi
