Oliver Shaw, the enthusiastic bidder at the 2024 Corporate Regatta, who “won” the right to be “Commodore for a Day”, finally had the opportunity to spend the day with our current Commodore, David Blakey
Commodore Shaw enjoyed a tour of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, getting the VIP version seeing all the secrets within the building (are there hidden secrets?), lunch in the Members’ Bar and then an afternoon racing on “Gradient” in the Havana Club Rum Race, and partied into the evening at the North Sails North Lawn Party!
Commodore Shaw put his hand up to bid for the privilege to be Commodore for a Day, resulting in over $650 being donated to our International Sailing Fund.
At nightfall, Commodore Shaw’s reign at the top came to an end, but not after a fun day with members, and of course, the real Commodore, Mr. Blakey.
