Upcoming Sailing

To all keelboat skippers
If you are planning on racing in the Costello Pursuit races, you must enter prior to the first race, i.e before June 15th, in order for the Sailing Office to allocate start times. Failing that, the Office will have to provide you a time on the day, and it would be very, very unlikely to be a favourable time
