The Nautical Mile – Edition 3.10
This Saturday is the final race for the Kingfisher Bay Night Series which is joint event between the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club, Moreton Bay Yacht Club, Wynnum Manly Sailing Club and Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. The final race of the series will see yacht starting at the Compass Adjustment Buoy then racing a course which takes them south to Hope Banks, then north again to finish off Mud Island. With a start time of 1500 hours some of the faster yachts can finish within daylight, however the majority of the fleet race well into the night.
On Sunday the Darling Point Sailing Squadron (DPSS) is hosting their Long Course Race for Skiffs, Cherubs, NS14s, 125s, Sabots and anyone else who would like to join in. The biggest boats will sail a long course around Green Island whilst the smaller boats will sail to the same island and then return back to the club located at the top end of Manly Harbour. Everyone is invited to attend and you don’t have to be a member of the club to take part. The cost per boat is $10 and is a great way to get on the water for a day, meet new people and have a great time. There will be a briefing at 1330 hours with the racing scheduled to commence at 1400. Like all sailing events, the finer details are subject to the day’s weather.
