Hi Everyone

Well, 2021 sure served us all a curve ball with our latest covid restrictions and the ongoing lockdowns in Auckland. Most of us thought we were back to normal and then as quick as that we were catapulted back into lockdown and all sailing activity has ground to a stop. We hope all of our Feva families are well and looking forward to the season ahead now we have been given the green light to be on the water again.

We wanted to take this time to update you all with the updated Traveller Series Dates for the 2021 – 2022 season and introduce you to the new members of the Feva Association. We are really looking forward to a great season on the water as most clubs are gearing up to be fully operational in level 2. We can’t wait to see all of our Feva sailors on the water enjoying the busy race schedule.

Please feel free to reach out to the association if you have any questions or would like some more information about the Feva Race Class. Please also feel free to share this update with our sailors at your club.
