Zhik Single Hander Regatta at SLMASC this Weekend

  • November 16, 2012

The 2012 Zhik Single Hander Dinghy Regatta is being hosted by SLMASC this weekend, with 4 races to be held over 2 days, with many of the best single hander dinghy sailors in the country doing battle in this unique yardstick event with thousands of dollars worth of major prizes generously donated by Zhik Australia being on the line.

Racing on Saturday commences at 2pm with 2 back to back races to be sailed, and then again on Sunday at 12.30pm with 2 more back to back races to conclude the series. The regatta is a unique event in that it provides a rare opportunity for many elite sailors to pit their skills against the best sailors in other single handed dinghy classes, with yardsticks then coming into play to determine the Zhik Top 10 in the overall standings. Results have been extremely close over recent years with ongoing refinement of the yardsticks used ensuring that most classes are represented in the Zhik Top 10. There are also prizes for individual class winners as well as numerous other categories.

It will be an extremely busy weekend at the club, as this is one of our major fund raising events on the annual sailing calendar, so if you can spare some time to help out either on or off the water on either Saturday or Sunday, please phone the club in the morning to check the volunteer rosters.

There will be no club dinghy racing this weekend as classes are encouraged to enter the regatta where eligible, however yacht racing will continue as normal. We also have week 2 classes of the new learn to sail program on Sunday morning at 9am (course is full), so it will be non-stop action over the entire weekend. The canteen and shop will be open on both days and the weather is looking promising for a great regatta, so why not drop by and watch some of the action and see if you can pick the Zhik Top 10 before the results are announced on Sunday afternoon.

Only 4 more sleeps to go …..

  • October 8, 2012

With the clocks wound forward last weekend, the footy season now behind us and the weather just starting to warm up, the count down is on for the first twilight race of the season this coming Friday night.

Rally the crew, stack the esky and clear the birds nest off your yacht and make sure you’re ready for the starter this Friday evening ….. lt’s going to be another great season with several new boats joining Team SLMASC.

All skippers are advised to check the weather forecasts closely as strong winds are predicted for this coming Friday MORNING, easing considerably to moderate breezes by race time on Friday evening. Check for forecast updates however before heading out.

Sailing Instructions, courses and handicaps are available from the website on the Yacht Document page, and all sailors are reminded that memberships are now due.

Hope to see you on the water this Friday to kick off the twilight series for 2012-13.
