Geographe Bay Race Week is less than a month away and Social Calender has been announced.
Every night a return Shuttle bus will run from the Marina to the Yacht Club for presentations and to "...Party 'til late!!"
Will this separation of venues cause more grief than the over crowded Marina "surrogate Club" of past years. Have your Say Here!
If you haven't entered, numbers are looking a bit slim although a greater number of people have expressed interest, pop across the GBRW website and nominate before 7th Feb to avoid a late entry fee. Click Here
130 Sabres assembled at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron in Victoria over the Christmas New Year period for the class's 34th national championship sponsored by Club Marine .These numbers put the regatta in the top handful of class championships in Australia this year, and was easily the biggest in the history of the class. The event coincided with a delightful week of weather and lighter to moderate conditions which allowed all 10 scheduled races to be completed. Blairgowrie's facilities coped well with the big influx of sailors, aided well by its extensive lawn and beach areas and substantial patrol boat fleet. A focus on afternoon racing allowed competitors and their families to enjoy a sleep in or to explore the delightful Southern Mornington Peninsula.
Sport boat sailors have the 2nd annual Rumble in the Reach at East Fremantle which will have a little less rumble due to the moderate forecasts, but will be entertaining none the less.
With 53 boats entered into the variety of races on this weekend, there will be plenty of opportunities to either be a part of, or watch some great racing.

As Commodore of Claremont Yacht Club, I'd like to let everybody know that we have freed up 9 pens (ranging in size from 8 mtrs to 14mtrs in length) for active yachts.
If you are keen to race on Saturdays, either on the river or offshore (or a fleet looking for a new home) call the CYC office on 08 9384 8226. Owners will need to become a full member, and go through the usual rigmarole, but we are really keen to push sailing along at CYC. I'm looking to add 10 new yachts to our fleet, this will give us the critical mass we need to sustain sailing for the long term at the club. Come down and have a look! Ask for Steve Baptie (General Manager).
On Saturday 14 January 2012, East Fremantle Yacht Club will showcase this season’s Rumble in the Reach and open its doors to the General Public so they can enjoy all the thrills and spills of this close quarter racing on the river. Live race commentary will be provided throughout the afternoon by well known WA sailing identities.
