Sydney City Marine have confirmed their sponsorship of the MHYC Winter Series, raced Saturdays May 8 - July 17 2010.
The Sydney City Marine Winter Series specifically targets the competitive club racer and encourages yachts from neighbouring clubs to compete either for the entire series or as a casual entrant. The 10 - race series offers two drops to all series entrants.
Weekly place-getters will be rewarded with a great range of gear from Henri Lloyd, with a Sydney City Marine Perpetual Trophy for the overall divisional winners. All competitors are rewarded for efforts with a post racing presentation and are encouraged to show their knowledge by participating in the Trivia Quiz to secure the mystery prize!
Racing is on the ‘Sound of Sydney Harbour', with a First Warning at 1200 hours. Course lengths are specifically tailored to wind strength. The series offers PHS, IRC and non-spinnaker divisions for the club racer and divisions are determined to ensure competitive racing delivered to all competitors.
'We are excited to have Sydney City Marine continuing to support the MHYC. They made a valuable contribution to the Short Ocean Racing Championship and the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta, so it is great to have a company very committed to the club and sailing as a sport. I recently looked over the Sydney City Marine facility, it is truly state of the art … we are proud to be supported by such a professional operation, I can see it is a great accessible asset for the both racing yachts and motor boats,' commented Julie Hodder, Commodore Racing.
