ILCA Metropolitan Championships
Guest User
Over the weekend the club hosted the ILCA Metropolitan Championships with Rod Barnes taking the lead in organising and assisting the ILCA NSW PRO Andrew McLachlan.
Over the two days, six races were held in tricky conditions predominately from the east, trending from the south east on Saturday to the north east on Sunday. Sailors were treated to a bbq on the deck after racing on Saturday and bacon and egg sandwiches on Sunday morning thanks to Peter Collie manning the bbq, as well as the usual Double Bay special – toasties a la Paul and Shirley…
Many volunteers rolled up their sleeves to assist with the regatta, whether they were sailing or not, from boat park management, canteen assistance, on water support, general around the clubhouse facilitation and the full rig launch and trolley dolly squad. Thank you to everyone who pitched in to make this a special and well run event.
