The Wollongong Yacht Club plans expansion having successfully secured The Community Building Partnerships Grant

Sailing is a rapidly growing sport and recreation creating demand for more facilities. The Wollongong Yacht Club has occupied a small building at Wollongong Harbour for the last five years but it has always had limited space. On Monday Wollongong MP Paul Scully had some good news for the club when he awarded it $15,000 for the construction of an awning and pergola. “This will expand their space in the cafe area,” he said.

Perfect Sailing Conditions Conclude the 2018 Etchells Worlds

Seen a lot of water. Been to a lot of places. Today, Brisbane pretty much offered the classic mix of sun, and just enough wind for the last two races of the 2018 Etchells World Championship. I think it is fair to say that it was very much appreciated by all and sundry, whether they were competitors, or part of the large flotilla of spectators who took to Moreton Bay to witness the crowning of a new champion.

Etchells World Championship Day 2

The 2018 Etchells World Championship Race Committee has been pretty clear about it. They have lost the last two mornings to ultra-light and variable winds, and they want to run the best series they can until Saturday 1500hrs, when they can set no more races away. Nine in total would be ideal, seven makes for good times, and six is acceptable. You could call it a mission.
