RMYC Toronto (Lake Macquarie) to host inagural Northshore Nationals

by Rod Mackay on 14 May 2010 The Sailing Committee at Lake Macquarie's RMYC Toronto have expanded on an annual Northshore regatta and are pleased to announce the inception of the Australian Championships for Northshore Yachts.

Being billed as the 'the Hammo Race Week for Northshores, but a lot easier to get to!', the event will feature spinnaker and non spinnaker divisions, and one design starts in classes that attract entries of 5 or more.

The inaugural regatta will be staged this year on August 21-22, giving visiting yachts time to get their boats home for the start of their spring season.

We are looking at sourcing boats for interstate competitors who may wish to compete but not be able to transport their boat for the two day event. It is hoped the Nationals will expand in years to come to a three or four day competition; and given the pristine location this will no doubt eventuate.

There will be a buffet style dinner with entertainment on the Saturday night, with the prizegiving presentation being held on the Sunday afternoon after racing is complete.

For more information on this exciting new regatta, please phone RMYC Sailing Committee members: Bob Mitchell on 0419 231 851 or Rod Mackay on 0419633345.

Final Notice of race will be out mid June.
