Note: There will not be an On The Water (or is that "IN the water") capsize day in 2009.

Instead, Aoraki will run through a detailed briefing with each team on their practice night.

Venues for Capsize is NOT the same as for Training

If a capsize is ever done, it is in strictly controlled ienvironment.

For example, in the past the capsize was in front of the ramp (slipway) beside the Naval Point Yacht Club in Magazine Bay.

The Yacht Club make the changing sheds (plus hot showers) available for us.

Last season, the Tip Out was on Sunday 17-Feb-08, which conincided with the "Canterbury Classic Triathlon" in neighbouring Corsair Bay.
