Our small boat regatta FANFARE (FAntastic Nepean FAll REgatta) 2021 ran 11+12 September. We had a strong turnout of 38 boats. The breeze was on (seriously) and the water was still comfortably warm for small boat racing. Results are here. more…

FANFARE Sailing Instructions are posted on the documents page. Please see official notice board.

The Open Catamaran fleet is Go for FANFARE 2021.

FANFARE registration is progressing well. This has given the organizing committee some breathing room. Therefore, to allow a little more time for teams to organize, the fleet cut-off date (and hence the late fee date) is moved to 23:59 September 5 2021. Please see the Official Notice Board.

The 505, International 14, Martin 16 and Open Dinghy have made fleet, which ensures that they have a start at FANFARE 2021.
Now we just need the catamarans – get your fleet minimum registered by the fleet cut-off deadline!

Registration is open for FANFARE 2021, and the Notice of Race is published. The regatta is September 11+12 2021.
Fleet cutoff is 18:00 3 September. After that time, a late fee applies.
Registration deadline is 18:00 10 September.

FANFARE 2021 needs a scorer and race officers. Please contact the Race Officer Rick Nelson.

For protest committee – we will likely use competitors of the regatta. But if you have protest experience and would like to help, please contact Dominic Goodwill, FANFARE 2021 chair.

The FAntastic Nepean FAll REgatta is our weekend of round-the-buoys racing in great September weather. The wind comes up and the water is still warm. Planned fleets are: open catamaran, open dinghy, I-14, 505, Martin 16, 2.4mR. Open dinghy includes Fireball, Albacore, Laser, Vago, RS Aero and comparable boats, similar to NSC weeknight dinghy fleets.

Can you help the chair to create a memorable event? We need a volunteer to help with registration from 1 August, and a general helper closer to the regatta date. The key skills are good humour and flexibility.

On the technical side, we are looking for a race officer, judge, scorer and on-water assistant race people. This is a low-key event, so it is a great opportunity to practice your technical skills.
