Some words of encouragement from Andrew Stransky:

Come one come all, it’s happening! Blow away those winter chills, dust off your trusty ILCA dinghy and set your sights on the Queensland Winter ILCA Regatta! Muster your energy and join the age old tradition of competing in the world’s most popular dinghy class. Racing among friends, the thrilling competition is always tight, regardless of where you are in the flight. Tone up those begging muscles in this 2 day, 5 race series, all for a paltry $50 entry fee, a bargain for the taking.

Step right up, you are all invited to enter, whatever your sex or age, come one, come all, this is an open regatta! Bask in warm sunshine on the inviting grounds of the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, while rigging up your trusty stead! Catch up with friends, make friends and be part of the splendid challenge of mastering sail. Out on the fresh waters of Waterloo Bay, apply your best efforts to push each other to even greater heights. Enjoy the fascinating interplay of sails, ropes, hulls and foils as we all strive to use the wind to our advantage and complete the course at our best speed.

Take part in the thrill of the hike, the rock and roll, hanging five in that effort to keep a small wave alive! Test your wits as you place your bets on which way the wind will roll the dice, calm as ice, in that beautiful winter light. Leap out of your chair and exclaim to the air “I’ll get my entry in right now!” If you don’t have a boat but are excited to join, no doubt you can beg or borrow one! What better way to spend two winter’s days, testing your skills and caressing the breeze. So why not get out your calender and ink in July 13th and 14th, to spend some time simply mucking about in boats!
