Marathon - Around Port Stephens (sponsored by Zhik)

The Zhik Marathon proved to be a great event with our club and NCYC entry in lively 20knt conditions which improved throughout the day. Unfortunately, the Gale Warning prevented the running of the Sprints Regatta on the Sunday. The format works great and hopefully will encourage other clubs participating in the future events.
