F18 Weekend Regatta

This Weekend "Brass Monkey Regatta"

Hi All


The forecast looks good for the weekend regatta with about 9 -14 kts each day, sunshine and 18oC. Perfect to kick off the season!

Boats
; At this stage we have 9 F18s definitely coming and an extra 3 probably coming, so we should have a good fleet.

Racing;
Depending on the wind they will run 2 races each day back to back, with windward to leeward courses. Start times are ; 1300hrs Saturday 1100hrs Sunday. That should suit us just fine.

Ferry;
Change of time for the ferry. It will now leave at 12.45hrs and return about 3.30pm on Saturday. On Sunday it will leave at 1045hrs. The ferry is BYO food and drinks. At this stage about 20 of our group will be on the ferry.

Entertainment; The band Latin Fire will be playing on the wharf from about 3.30 until about 5.30pm to entertain the girls while we get off the water. On Sunday jazz duo John Morrison and Jackie Cooper will be launching their new CD.

Presentation;
Saturday after sailing and before dinner we will have the presentation downstairs on the wharf.


Dinner;
7pm at present we have 54 people booked. Please let me know if you are coming.

SFS
As a member of the Sydney Flying Squadron I welcome you all to our club. It is the oldest open boat sailing club in Australia and believes that sailing is a spectator sport for the whole family. We hope you all have a great weekend.


See you on Saturday
