Racing this Sunday, before the holiday break

Racing is on this coming Sunday, the last day before we break for the holidays. There are no juniors in the morning, though competent kids are welcome to join the sailing in the afternoon.

At the moment, with the border changes coming after this weekend, Qlders will be able to race in the new year, so we expect a shortened summer championship season to start from the 9th of January, with racing every second weekend until the easter break. We will send a separate email with further details, including requests for volunteers for Duty Officer, Time Keeping and Safety Boat operators.

Some of our Queensland Corsair boats raced at last weekend’s Monomasters at Lake Cootharaba. A write up is on the website with some great photos. The next away event will be at Big River’s Annual Regatta on the 26/27th of February weekend, so mark your calendars.

Details for this weekend:

Briefing at midday, (casual) racing from 1 pm. (NSW Time)

Skippers, please register your boat entry here.

Crew are welcome to register their availability here. (Skippers, the list of people looking for spots is here.)

If you’d like to hire a club boat for the afternoon, please check our website’s hire section.

Sailing is on this Sunday, with Juniors and Parents Sailing in the Morning

We’re racing this Sunday at Fingal with a briefing at midday.  Skippers, please register here.

Juniors training is on in the morning, starting at the earlier time of 8:30.  No experience is necessary.  Please register here.

For Parents, John is happy to run a Try Sailing session at the same time as Juniors is on so that you can get out on the water too and show your children how it’s done!

This weekend is also when our own Tweedledums Team will represent our club at the Mooloolaba Women’s Keelboat Regatta.  Maddie Lyons, Monique Smith and Kate Ausburn will be racing against seven other teams on Elliott 6’s in three days of racing from Friday.  We wish them well!

Stay Safe.

Club News – Juniors and Upcoming Regattas

Juniors are on this Sunday morning, and all skill levels are welcome to attend. More details are here.

Racing at Fingal last Sunday.

There’s no racing Sunday afternoon at Fingal, though some Queensland boats are racing at SYCs Oxenford Lake, meeting from 11 am. Don’t hesitate to contact Craig on 0413 052 898 if you’d like to crew.

Several sailors are interested in going to the Big River Bridge to Breakers Regatta in November. We’d generally attend with a large fleet in a typical year, though numbers will be down this time. If you’re interested in either crewing or taking a boat, please contact Michael on 0421 526 727.

As the Queensland boats cannot attend, they’re going to the Lake Cootharaba MonoMasters in early December instead. Once more, and I think you can see where this is going, if you’re interested in either crewing or taking a boat, please get in touch with Craig on 0413 052 898.

Sailing this Sunday

Hello Everyone,

The second day of our summer season is this coming Sunday. With the border restrictions still in place (Qlder’s please see below), we’re not yet going to run a formal championship race, but we welcome people to attend and participate in what’s organised on the day. Last Sunday’s race was up the Terranora Inlet!

Skippers, please register your boats here. The briefing is at midday.

Juniors are also on in the morning, starting at 9 am. Please register for juniors here.

We must follow the NSW COVID-19 rules, including that everyone attending must be fully vaccinated. A summary of the rules and how they affect sailing in NSW are here. Please do not attend if it’s not permitted that you do so.

For Queenslanders, a few of us are gathering at Lake Orr in Varsity for some informal racing. Meeting at midday (Proper Queensland time!). Please contact Craig on 0413 052 898 if you’re interested in joining in.

Josh Fergusson is selling his Corsair, hull number 1107, which is one of the newest available! If you’re interested, then please contact Craig on 0413 052 898.

Finally, the Big River Sailing Club is going ahead with their Bridge to Breakers Regatta in November. Registrations are now open, though, at this time, Qld based sailers would be unable to attend. Further details are on their webpage.
