PSA have sent 20 new (Australian built) boats to the UK recently. 10 to 15 of these boats will be available for charter for the 2025 Masters Worlds in Formia, Italy. So, if you like the idea of sailing a quality PSA new boat at the regatta, (rather than the other E6 ex-charters), please contact Brett Beyer and he’ll secure you a boat. Same price as the ILCA charters. All available at regatta site as per usual.beyersailing@gmail.com0414 299 317

Winter Championship & Point Score – Races 10, 11 & 121st day of winter, champagne conditions, and once all warmed up and forecast sunny 19-deg, it was a classic day on Sydney Harbour all to ourselves. Hughey came to sail with a nice steady 9 kt W breeze and the occasional puff of 10 kt from WNW. A good turn out of 27 boats and we managed full three races of 25-30 minutes each and separate starts for all fleets. Stand out performances for the day were Harper Spacey in 4.7s with 2 wins, Alistair Sutherland in Radials for the perfect scorecard, whilst the Standards very kindly shared the chocolates.Here are the results (R10, R11, R12):Championship4 – Harper Spacey x 2,

Winter Championship & Point ScoreBeautiful views of Venus above a crescent moon rewarded the early riser. There was a strong turnout ready to sail. Only one race was sailed, unfortunately, as the harbour, both in colour and current, resembled the Amazon more than our usual wonderful locale, and the wind didn’t come in until much later in the day. The warm morning gave little hope of the morning westerly kicking in, that combined with the strong outgoing tide made for testing conditions. Here are the Winter Race 7 results:Championship4 – Ralph took the win as a bit of a wildcard, chasing down Charlotte and Zoe on the line as they battled the current. 6 – An outstanding win from Andrew Cox,

Winter Championship & Point ScoreWeek 2 of the Winter Series delivered a classic dose of winter weather.  It was cold, wet and dreary!  But despite the inclement weather, 25 boats fronted up for racing, which was a solid effort. The race team (Kirk Marcolina, Chris Berg, Tory Epworth and James Tudball) had their torches and wet weather gear on at 6:00am as they prepared for racing, and the big decision for the team was whether we would lay a westerly or southerly course.The forecast was for a 20 knot southerly, but when we surveyed the conditions on-water at 7am, the winter westerly was established at a consistent 8 knots.  So, Race 1 was started under our typical westerly course, and it was looking

Winter Championship & Point Score25 signed on and several unsigned on sailors greeted the starters for the Mother’s Day opening to the winter series. A light but fairly consistent westerly-ish breeze allowed us to get racing underway a little after out new scheduled start time. We held three tightly contested windward/leeward races.  Nobody was over at any of the eight starts. It was great to see eight ILCA4’s racing and they had their own starts for Races 2 and 3.  Several failed to get to the start area early enough for the first race to earn their own start.  Please see below.Congratulations to the series leaders after Round One.  In the Winter Championships the current series leaders are Harper Spacey in ICLA 4, Roberto Blum in ILCA6 and Quentin Burns in ILCA7.  In the Winter Point Score the current series leaders are Harper Spacey in ILCA4, Brendan Pollard in ILCA6 and
