Gosford Classic Regatta on Sydney Harbour

While the tall ships and Naval fleet descended on Sydney Harbour, a fleet of Sydney based J24s made their way to Gosford for the annual long weekend regatta. Two days, six races, 10 J24s, no wind and lots of fun – an AP each day until enough breeze kicked in to run light races, the Nor’easter finally filled in for the last lap of the last race on Sunday afternoon.
Despite light conditions the race committee got six races in and the regatta was won by long time regular entrant and consistently well sailed, Vortex… skipper Chris said ‘We’ve been here many times and won a few trophies but this is our first overall win!!’
