Mander Yachting Trust launches 16 month Yachting Calendar

This year sees the launch by the Mander Yachting Trust of the inaugural Canterbury Yachting Calendar.
Designed by Nigel Humphreys, the calendar has been developed to showcase Canterbury yachting with sixteen full colour photos of Canterbury yachties and their sport presented in a high quality presentation.
The sixteen images have been chosen from a large number submitted by photographers who have captured a yachting scene in the last few years.
Starting with September 2009 and going through to December 2010 the calendar covers the coming yachting season with Canterbury’s major yachting events detailed on each month.
The Mander Yachting Trust was established by Peter Mander (NZ’s first Olympic Gold Medal winner) to assist the youth sailors of Canterbury with training and education opportunities to develop their sailing skills.
The calendar is a fund raising project with all funds after the production costs going to the Mander Yachting Trust.
The Trust will invest the funds and use the interest to benefit Canterbury’s young sailors.
The cost of the calendar is $15.00 (plus $2.25 postage and packaging) and it is available through the Trust’s Secretary/Treasurer Jocelyn Humphreys Phone Christchurch 3851132 or jocelyn.humphreys@xtra.co.nz
