G’day sailors,
The lockdown has been lifted in many parts of Australia, but where I’m based in Sydney it has unfortunately been extended by another week. If (like me) you’re stuck inside due to lockdowns, the cold winter weather or whatever your reason, why not take a listen to some of theĀ Dockside with DebĀ episodes you may have missed last year.
Stay safe sailors and I hope to see many of you back on the water soon!
Check out the latest sail racing news and stories from around the web below.
Until next week, happy sailing šāµ
