SSAA Winter Series starts Saturday April 18th

1:37 AM Tue 14 Apr 2009 GMT

The first race of the 2009 SSAA Winter Series is the Secumar Pittwater-Botany Bay-Sydney race, starting at 1000hrs this Saturday 18th April.

Secumar have been supporting the SSAA for the last four years.

This is a Cat 4 race from Pittwater, down to Botany Bay and back up to the finish inside Sydney Harbour, and is a great way to ease into the Winter shorthanding series.

Yachts can enter sailing solo or two-handed with autopilot, or three-handed if not using an autopilot.

Last year we had 10 monohulls and one multihull racing, and we would love to see a bigger turnout this year - we would particularly like to see more multis racing!

All details including Notice of Series, Sailing Instructions and Entry Form can be found on the Racing & Events page on the SSAA website - www.ssaa.com.au.
