G’day sailors,
For those of you who are sci-fi spy movie fans as well as sailors, Tenet premiered last week with some of SailGP’s finest and two F50s making a star appearance.
The Australian Sailing NSW & ACT Awards Nominations were released yesterday and I am very pleased and humbled to have been nominated for the Sports Promotion Award. A huge thank you to those who submitted the nomination, and congratulations to all of the other nominees.
For those living in Sydney, Australian Sailing has recently shared recommendations based on public health recommendations that limit the travel of sailors to participate in races on yachts based outside of the area in which they reside. You can find out more about these recommendations and other COVID-19 related information here.
If you have any cancellations or restrictions in your area that you’d like to share in our news, or better yet, races and events that ARE going ahead, please send these to support@mysail.team.
Enjoy this week’s stories and stay safe.
Until next week, happy sailing 😊⛵
Deb (MySail Founder)
