“Welcome to Spring Regatta” 12-13 October 2024
A fun regatta for child and youth sailors to dust off the cobwebs. There will be a large number of short “fleet” races catering for a wide variety of skills. The minimum standard for this regatta is those who were in Tuesday groups or above last season as we don’t want to be spending too much time on rescues! The focus is on fun. The course will be short (say 20 minutes long) and close to the yacht club. There will be plenty of breaks. There’s no requirement to continue if the weather conditions are beyond your standard, with plenty of bail out options. You can do one or both days …
Saturday 12 October 9am-3pm TWO PERSON BOATS DAY
Pairs will be picked on the day, typically with more experienced sailors paired with the less experienced. There will be lots of swapping where appropriate and some “substitute” time in the rigid inflatables. Boats will likely include Quests Fevas and 420’s.
Sunday 12 October 9am-3pm SINGLE HANDED DAY
Turn up if you can handle one of the following: O’pen skiffs, Starlings, Laser. Sorry this comp is above opti level.
All races will involve mass starts with a five minute start sequence. This will be explained during the briefing. The intention is to make everything similar to Thursday night races but with a much shorter course.
Don’t register. Just turn up with $20 per day to go towards expenses.
