Heaven Can Wait - Bookings NOW -Dinner with Slingsby and Outteridge

by Heaven Can Wait Media Centre on 26 Sep 2010 Heaven Can Wait Welcome Dinner Bookings open now - Two of Australia’s international sailing superstars, Tom Slingsby and Nathan Outteridge, will participate in this year’s Heaven Can Wait charity yacht regatta on Lake Macquarie during the October long weekend to raise funds for men’s cancer research and support program.

The two Australian Olympians Outteridge and Slingsby both grew up on the NSW Central Coast and have done a great deal of sailing on the lake, honing their sailing skills – which have seen them with ever-growing trophy shelves.

The two will be sailing their own Foiling Moths in the One Lap Dash, and are also lending their strong support to the HCW fundraising activities, through sponsorship of their boats in the race, along with being guest speakers at the Heaven Can Wait Charity fundraising dinner at Royal Motor Yacht Club Toronto the night before the race (Friday, October 1).

Wangi (Lake Macquarie) sailor Nathan Outteridge is the 2008 and 2009 49er World Champion skipper, was runner-up in the 2009 Moth World Championships, won the 2010 Moth European titles just a few weeks ago and looks set to be favourite for the 2011 Worlds which will be sailed on Lake Macquarie from Belmont 16 foot skiff Club next January.

Gosford sailor Tom Slingsby, 2007 and 2008 Laser World Champion, has just won his third Laser World Championship title.

In late August, Slingsby, sailing with America’s Cup icon John Bertrand and Star Olympian Andrew Palfrey, won the 2010 Etchells World Championships and he too will be contesting the 2011 Moth Worlds.
