Historical 18 footer in action - Perc Perdriau Annual Sportsman’s Challenge Frank Quealey /Australian 18 Footers League http://www.18footers.com.au
Perc Perdriau Annual Sportsman's Challenge second edition is to be held at the Sydney Flying Squadron on Saturday 25th March 2013.

The Organising Committee has brought the date forward two weeks to enable all Sydney sailors to experience this great sporting occasion in memory of the sad passing of one of our best, Ian 'Perc ' Perdriau last year.

Everyone is invited, (bring your whole family) to either spectate or compete as a Team for the prestigious Perc Trophy and Green Jacket as well as going down in 18ft Skiff history as the winners of the 2012 Perc Perdriau.

You will be guaranteed a seriously funny experience and get to catch up with mates in a cauldron of hilarious behavour as the Teams battle for the title.

Last year’s winning team will compete again under the command of Sam Perdriau.

The Organising Committee has added some new 'Sports' to the event list such as the 'Clamp Challenge' and the 'One Armed Bandit Challenge' to provide more skill set diversity for the competing teams.

To assist the organisers with catering and beverage we would appreciate it greatly if you could RSVP either Col (islebail(@)bigpond.net.au) or Sam (sam(@)solarpv.net.au).

Hoping you can make it to the second staging of the 'Perc' on the 25th and help celebrate Skiff sailing tradition...
