  • Welcome to Graeme and Karen Laurie as our coordinators both on and off the water for the 18 and 12 foot skiffs. Graeme and Karen are both past skiff champions. Graeme as winner of the Inter Dominion Trophy in the mid 1990s - Karen as a leader in the first all-women 12 foot skiff team in New Zealand - along with many other trophies held by the pair. It's great to have them on board with their understanding of the needs of skiff sailors
