UPCOMING EVENTS

2009/2010 Calendar’s

The official Calendars for NSW and Victoria have been posted on the web site, under the “Event Information Tab”. The 09/10 Season promises to be another tightly contested series, with active fleets in both Sydney and Melbourne, and the National to be held off Pittwater February 2010.

Sydney 38’s compete in one design series with very tight racing, which really tests crew ability, and greatly enhances the skills of both the skipper and crew. Offshore 38’s regularly compete in their own division to the Gold Coast and Hobart, and again it is tight.

Please review the calendar, and get your Owners and Crew to put the dates in your Calendar.

Now this is more like it! Winter Series Race 12 By Brooke Paton, Mosman , 5:21 PM Fri 4 Jul 2008
