More than 80 sailing boats – yachts, multihulls, skiffs, dinghies, Foiling Moths and others – will be racing around Lake Macquarie on Saturday October 2 and Sunday October 3.
It will be an action packed weekend, with a Welcome Dinner on the Friday Night with Nathan Outteridge and Tom Slingsby as special guests. Online Bookings have started already, you get in quick.
The fund raising has already started online with the HCW virtual fleet race and its raising serious dollars for charity already.
We've included a selection of the War Stories from the 2009 event. 'That's not a Dolphin' is just one of the funniest onces. Read some of them to get the flavour of a great event.
This is going to be another event not to be missed so please read on, so you can understand why you need to be on Lake Macquarie in two week time!
And if you cant be there, please joining in the fun, support a great cause by supporting your mates in the Virtual Race.
