Rattle N Rum - SR26 Nationals SW

Organisers are hopeful of attracting a ten boat fleet for the SR26 Nationals to be sailed in early April.

Proudly sponsored by Mount Gay Rum, Burnsco Marine and North Sails the regatta will be sailed from Bucklands Beach YC on April 9th and 10th in windward leeward format.


The racing promises to be tight and action packed with a number of boats performing very well over the past season and a few new hands getting hold of a few other boats it will be a regatta to watch! Sarah Patterson's all girls crew on New Force will be an unknown force on the water. The traditional battle will be between Mercenary helmed by Chris Marsh and Rattle 'n' Rum with his past nationals winning team helmed by Richard Watson raging strong off the back of some tight midweek races. Adding to the fire will be Trainsmash back on the racing scene after a holiday up north.
