The Aussies are sailing up a storm in round six of the World Sailing Cup in Kiel and good news from our favourite event, the Heaven Can Wait 24 hour race and One Lap Dash on Lake Macquarie.
Yep, the HCW is on our home patch, it raises ever increasing amounts on money for Mens Cancer Research and yes we are one of the sponsors - so yes we are biased. We expect to see more than 100 boats on the water on the October Long Weekend Saturday, so if you have an 18 footer, a sports boat, a trailable or a keel boat - get involved - great adventure for a great cause.
If you've not done the race before go to www.heavencanwait.com.au and register your interest and the guys will keep you updated..
