Heaven Can Wait Charity Sailing Regatta preview

by Mel Steiner on 8 Jan 2015 2015 Heaven Can Wait Charity Sailing Regatta – the biggest mixed fleet regatta on Lake Macquarie and the only 24 hour overnight round the cans race in Australia, gets underway in six weeks.

The regatta will commence on Saturday February 21 with the 24 Hour Race finishing on Sunday February 22, and of course, don’t forget the pre race fund raising dinner on Friday February 20 at the RMYC Toronto.

Regatta entries are now open – simply visit our website.

Get your entries for the regatta in now and start raising funds through Everydayhero, for this very worthwhile charity – the Hunter Branch of NSW Cancer Council and specifically their Domestic Support Program that provides domestic assistance to both terminal and recovering cancer patients. Our fund raising target is $50,000 (last year we raised $39,000) and don’t forget, there is a trophy for the boat that raises the most money in support of the charity.

This year, the Heaven Can Wait Charity Sailing Regatta will be a part of Lakefest – a new annual aquatic festival on Lake Macquarie that brings together sailing and other aquatic events in one week of action on Lake Macquarie. Lakefest will include the RMYC Toronto Heaven Can Wait Charity Sailing Regatta, The LMYC RTC two day Non Spinnaker Regatta, The WASC Open Friday Twilight, The Variety (Children’s Charity) Splash, the Toronto Rotary Sunrise Paddlefest and the Belmont 16’s Kids Dinghy Treasure Hunt. There will be lots of action on Lake Macquarie in the week of February 20 – 27, so make sure you are a part of it.
