Hi All,

This Weekend - THE WAITARA REGATTA!  1st and 2nd February, Get there!  

Now surely, you've all heard about the Sail GP -1-million-dollar race.?  Well, it's not quite a million but this year we are doing the $50 dollar race!  This will be an extra prize awarded to the sailor that wins the final race of Saturdays racing. Waitara is the perfect place to do this kind of race as the challenging conditions of the river let sailors who aren't often at the front of the pack get a taste of winning. Prizes will still be awarded for the overall series results and the chance to be dubbed "King (or Queen) of the River"

Last year we had 10 farr 3.7's competing.. this year it's looking like more. 

For Travellers:

Camping around the clubhouse on the reserve is welcomed, or feel free to put a mattress on the floor of the clubrooms if you don't have a tent. Some local club members will camp the night at the club instead of driving home. Good surf beach 5mins walk from the yacht club at the river mouth.  Beds are also available at local 3.7 members houses just email to arrange. 

You can rig up your boat on the Friday evening. We will open the bar and a bottle of rum / If it looks like you'll arrive in time for dinner let us know and we'll order some fish and chips. 

Ready made lunches will be available to be brought each morning for $5

There will be a BBQ Saturday night at the club followed by a few lemonades)

We sail on the river for 2 hrs either side of high tide so the sailing conditions are in calm sheltered waters, Entry fee is only $25 you can just enter on the day. but bring cash - no eftpos!

Find notice of race and sailing instructions attached 

If you have any questions or need any help please feel free to contact. 

Paul Moriarty 0273199586 

Please let me know if you are intending to come so we can host you properly - 

See you all on Saturday
