This feature allows crew and skippers to get directly in contact and discuss what they are after, then on the day they sign in as per usual using the QR code.

Race Results

HMAS Gorangai Memorial Race
|
|
|
|
|
After a blustery 40 knot plus Friday, the wind moderated for the start on Saturday to 17 knots W
at RBYC's tower. Jaffa, Ryujin and Alien were quick off the mark heading for the West Channel
pile 13. BKT Jamhu and Its A Privilege got in the groove as the wind increased to around 20-24
knots with a touch of North in the predominantly Westerly. Its a Privilege was first across the line
in just under 3 hours with BKT fairly close behind. Aquacadabra achieved a creditable 2nd on handicap.
QCYC would like to thank the RBYC sailing management Colin and Chad for organising the
Brighton side of the Annual Race with the towering assistance of Peter Austin and Murray Cowdell.
