G’day sailors,
Entries have opened for the 2021 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race. The 384 nautical mile, category 2 offshore race hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia marks the start of the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore. With most of last year’s races cancelled due to COVID-19, fingers crossed this year’s races are able to go-ahead without so many hiccups!
If you’re thinking of joining a crew for your first offshore race this year, we have some great resources available in the Learn to Sail section of MySail News that may be helpful.
Enjoy reading the latest sailing news and stories.
Until next week, happy sailing,
