Your first chance to enjoy an up-river cruise in company of other boats, with a goal. A 15 nautical mile race to Pinhey’s Point and back, Sunday June 23, starting at noon. Part H of the sailing instructions has all the details.

Given that all PHRF racing up to this point has been cancelled, it did not make sense to have a Spring Series that would consist of…
A gentle reminder that it is important to keep the walkways around the clubhouse and in the yard free of obstructions. For participants in the Able Sail program, the walkways can be the only way to access the yard. Please ensure masts and other items are not on any walkways.

The 200+ sailors at our premiere event need you. We know that NSC members and friends will respond. NOD is June 14-16 with a large turnout. We need additional volunteers: 10 for on-water Race Committee, 3 for registration-table, 6 for yard, 1 yard coordinator. We also need additional power boats for on-water support.
For keelboats racing at the Nepean One Design regatta and support power boats, NOD has block-booked timeslots at the cranes to launch your boats Friday evening and early Saturday morning, and haulout Sunday. So if you are not launched yet, or you are a visitor, we’ve got you covered. For details see NOD website.
