"Ladies Race Day" Saturday 25 June 2022, 12 pm to 4 pm
2022-06-25 12:00 - 16:00 | Tweed Valley Sailing Club, Boat Park opposite the Sheaok Cafe, Fingal Road, Fingal Heads, NSW, 2487, Australia
Let’s bring on “Ladies Race Day”. Come and experience what it’s like to race. Rigging at 12 pm, with 5 pacers, with 2 pax onboard only. If you feel confident to skipper, “go for it”. Otherwise, one of our club members will skipper. We will use the same course that TVSC usually uses, to get you used to the coming Summer season sailing.
Racing will start around 1 pm, with low tide around 1:45 pm.
This will give you the experience of race starts (including starting sequence) and flags used. It will be a “fun day” with random draw prizes at the end of the day.
The amount of races we have will be dependent on how many sailors participate. Cost is $10 per person, with safety boat included. Bring water and a snack!
Registration is essential so we can provide enough assistance: Click on this link to register:
