On behalf of the Committee of Management we wish you all the very best for the festive season ahead!

It’s a time to reflect and share time with family and friends and watch the start of the Sydney Hobart on Boxing Day! For sailors its also time to hit the road for nationals.

We have a range of members competing including: Kassia Jack and Eli Fallu (‘Mirror Finish’) in the Mirror Nationals at the Wynard Yacht Club in Tasmania, Ben Glover and Ollie Halse (‘Ghost Pepper’) in the 125 Nationals in Coffin Bay, South Australia, Francis Gibson ‘Breaking News’ in the ILCA 4’s Oceania and Nationals at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania in Hobart, Leon Raymond in ‘Sandfly’ – Impulse Nationals at Altona, Gayle Gardner and Doug Kingsley ‘Gayle Force’ & John and Tilly Gibson in ‘Jack Maloney’ at the Pacer Nationals at Albert Park in late January, Peter Behrendt and Peter Yeates with “Hissing Sid’ hit the road to Largs Bay in South Australia at the end of January for the HartleyTS16 Nationals. We wish you all the very best and safe travels!

For those staying home, apparently there are plenty of fish biting! If you fancy a sail, there will be an informal sail on Saturday – you can register on Sailor App.
