Sail Sandy is to be held this weekend at Sandringham Yacht Club, and a strong contingent of OK dinghy sailors are expected to attend still thawing from the arctic conditions experienced in Canberra some weeks ago.

The unofficial Victorian travelers circuit is proving to be extremely beneficial in the lead up to the 2009 Nationals and the looming 2010 worlds in Wellington.

The forecast is looking promising for fantastic racing on the course which is due West of SYC's fantastic new club house.
