The event will cater for a range of sailing ability, from novice sailors in the Oppie Regatta Fleet to experienced racers in Lasers, Optimists and Toppers. If you would like to enter, please find the TDI 2018 Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions under the Sailing drop down menu above.
The series of races for the ANRP mug and Amy cup will continue this Sunday, weather permitting.
Please note the early start time of 9am for race one.
See you all on the water!
Dear fellow St Catherine’s Sailing Club members.
It is with great sadness that we inform you all that Tommy Horton passed away last night.
Tommy has been a dedicated supporter of St Catherine’s and will be sorely missed.
We send our kindest thoughts and condolences to Helen, Justin and all the Horton family.
Next Sunday’s Double Handed & Dayboat event is all about you.
The race committee are organising 3 back to back races, with long spinnaker legs and clear breeze.
It’s definitely worth dusting off that trapeze boat and joining in!
First race starts at 11am, with a briefing at 10:15am so please be ready so that we can fit the whole programme in.
