More than 100 sailors are set to take part in Manly Sailing Club’s Mid-Winter Championships this weekend.
Sailors aged from nine years old to Masters (45 plus), will come from as far north as Taipa and as far south as Dunedin to attend this annual event, which takes place off Manly Beach on July 7-9.
The sailors will compete in bronze, silver or gold fleets in a range of boats – O’pen Bics, RS Fevas, Laser 4.7s, Laser Radials and Laser Standards.
The most recent addition to the lineup is the RS Feva – a junior double-handed boat that is proving popular with the young sailors.
A total of 16 local sailors that have only started racing this year will compete in the bronze fleet. This is designed for sailors competing in their first event and is all about fun, consisting of a series of races in O’Pen Bics around marks as well as adventure races.
