FD 2015 John Maguire
As a lead up to Sydney hosting the Flying Dutchman Worlds in January, the Australian FD class is showcasing the boat this weekend at Batemans Bay. If you have ever wished to try an FD this is your chance.

We will be setting up at Corrigans Beach Reserve from 3pm onwards. We will have some spare trapeze harnesses.

Afterwards we will adjourn to the BBSC for a BBQ.

If you can't make it to Batemans, we will be hosting other events in Sydney and Melbourne in the next few months.
