Well that's a wrap on another fantastic Burton Sails Twilight Summer Series! The final results are still being uploaded to the Keeler page on the TYPBC websites, so for now, here's a few shots of some of our division winners being presented with their Burton Gear Bags: Division 3 = Rascal Tom; Division 5 = Thunder Cat; Division 4 = Inspiration; Division 2= Thirsty Work. More results posted soon. Thanks again to Burton Sails and Burnsco for their ongoing and generous sponsorship, and let's not forget the bottles of rum gifted by Winston at Pro Marine Electrical for our division winners to quench the thirst of all our accomplished salty dogs! Cheers everyone! - the Keeler Committee, TYPBC.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

We’re thrilled to announce a huge addition to the NZ Sailing Trust fleet! ⛵️ Joining the legendary and is none other than… the AC75 from Emirates Team New Zealand ! 🎉

That’s right—after much negotiation (and a few rounds at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) ), we’ve secured this cutting-edge foiling machine for our youth sailing programmes. Because what better way to teach life skills than at 40+ knots with a mainsail the size of a Boeing 747 wing? 😎💨

First up: A one-off Rum Race Special on Friday 11th April—so get in quick before we rethink this decision. Helm positions strictly limited, and BYO hiking straps. 💀

Book now before someone tells Grant Dalton. 😬
