The 2009 Anniversary Day Regatta was sailed in great conditions, with loads of sunshine and plenty of wind and big shifts to exploit! Wakatere was represented by 7 optimist sailors in the 41 strong Open fleet and 2 in the 17 strong Green Fleet. Sam Wallis sailed his first Open fleet regatta and showed that it won't be long before he will be giving the others a run for their money, sailing alongside eventual winner Taylor Burn for half of one race.
