With Race 1 in 2008 attracting over 170 entries the excitement is gathering for the 2009 Series, the three races over three months have proven to be an extremely popular format, with 18 divisions from the smaller Pied Pipers upwards.

The event is coordinated through SSANZ (Short Handed Sailing Association) and Marine Electronic Distributors Advance Trident Ltd through their brands Simrad and B&G have been the major sponsors for the past 11 years.
