Did you know?........ GEM 550 TS
Did you know that at the Williamstown Sailing Club we sail the GEM 550TS. The GEM was designed and developed to meet the need for a reasonably priced racing oriented family weekender, and to provide performance at a level that falls midway between the popular dinghy classes and the smallest offshore racing yachts. The GEM 550 Trailer Sailer is a Rob Humphreys European Micro Tonner design that has found a new life in Australia as a popular T/S in several States and Canberra ACT.

Williamstown Sailing Club, 16th January 2010 Club Race.
Just another day on the Bay was the expectation for the crew of “True Colours”, although the weather forecast mentioned 20-30 Knots for the day, which made me think twice. And not to forget the 1-2 meter swell.
