Metros - this weekend
Diana Chen
The NSW/ACT Laser Metropolitan Championship will be held this weekend at Hunters Hill Sailing Club, on the other side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The forecast on Saturday is for a moderate southerly so it’ll be a quick blast straight out of the bay, then a nice reach all the way to the start line. A tow is also available for those who want to preserve their energy. The breeze will be much lighter on Sunday so most of us will be catching a ride. If you haven’t already done so, enter online via the link below and email Rod Barnes to let him know that you’ll be attending. Departure from DBSC is 12:00pm on Saturday and 9:45am on Sunday.
The Notice of Race, Online Entry, Sailing Instructions, Venue Information & Logistics, Electronic Sign On/Off, and Results are all available via the NSW/ACT Laser Association website and Australian Laser App [HERE].
HHSC is a great club with a large rigging area. It has one of the best vantage points for watching the racing at Clarkes Point. There is a canteen at the club and the Deckhouse at Woolwich Dock and Woolwich Pier Hotel are nearby for more substantial fare. Two of the HHSC sponsors www.boatropes.com.au and www.boatcrewgear.com will have pop up stores at the club on Saturday.
