SAILORS KEEN TO BATTLE THE TIDES……
A series of five races over two days (Saturday 30 March and Sunday 31 March) with a proviso for a resail on Monday 1 April if is required.
Queenscliff Lonsdale Yacht Club will also be assisting, providing their new Race Management boat and additional race officials and running their popular Passage Race within the series.
Entry fees for the regatta are -
$50 for series (5 races) including free berthing Sat and Sunday evenings OR
$30 per race (no free berthing)
Late entries will be accepted up to 1000 hrs on any morning of the series on payment of the specified Late Entry Fee of $60 for series or $40 for each race.
For those entering the Regatta, the Entry form requests additional information re your boat metrics, your crew members and their Australian Sailing membership numbers and confirmation that you have already completed and paid for the booking process.
If you entered for the 5 race series you will be given 2 free berthing nights (Sat and Sun) but you will have to pay for any additional days during your stay. So complete the Berthing Request and Wharfing payment before entering the regatta.
