Its all happening

Phuket King’s Cup Regatta 2011 - Walawala 2 - the Australian built IRC racer that is raising eyebrows Guy Nowell http://www.guynowell.com
What to do you get when you combine the world-renowned Ker Yacht Design, with Australia’s Sydney Yachts, a team that have been building quality offshore boats for a long time.

Well, the result is the Sydney Yachts GTS 43 and recently, it’s been raising some eyebrows, as it competes against some of the other hot new things out there in the marketplace.

The Zhik Etchells Pre-World’s starts tomorrow in Pittwater then we move to the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron for the 2012 Etchells Worlds. An interesting 10 days ahead, before the Helly Hansen Sydney Harbour regatta, then only a little while to the Sail Port Stephens Regatta.

Have you got your entries in for those?
