First “SheSails” event of 2023! Come and practice your sailing skills. A safety boat will be on the water, and a group of volunteers to assist. If you haven’t sailed for a while, this day may get you motivated to get back on the water.

Rigging commencing at 12 pm (NSW) time, finishing up around 4 pm.  Club members will be on hand to assist in rigging and assisting with any questions you have.  

The 5 club pacers will be available to use, the club laser or an X3.

Bridge to Breakers Regatta

After two disrupted seasons affected by either floods or the pandemic, this year’s Bridge to Breakers regatta was a welcome return to something more traditional. The Saturday forecast of a fresh NE sea breeze proved accurate, providing almost ideal sailing conditions for all classes. The catamarans and multihulls, which had entered in numbers not seen for many seasons, were particularly well suited to the longer course and enjoyed close racing within and between classes. 

The Sunday forecast was likewise accurate; however, the strong blustery NW winds proved a handful, with many deciding the morning race was enough sailing for one day. The gnarly conditions persisted for the third and final race, and those that ventured out returned battle weary and thankful for the early finish. 

The club takes the opportunity to thank all those who participated in the racing or who otherwise enjoyed the regatta for the socialising and opportunity to camp and enjoy the area for its special place. Particularly pleasing was the number of families and younger children in attendance, encouraging for the sport, and hopefully a sign of more to come. The next major event is the Annual Regatta over the weekend of 25/26 Feb 2023 and the club looks forward to welcoming back as many return visitors that can make it.
