If you were at either of the last two Action Sprints (in 2006 and 2003) then you know what you are in for:

Nuplex Davie Norris Dan Leech high diveA 2-300m short  course set just off the rocks by the Coastguard building in Lyttelton, 7-10 boats per heat, little margin for error, a large crowd and some of
the most exciting sailing ever on the harbour. Tight racing and erratic wind gusts mean just about anything can happen and it certainly does. Don't miss it.
