Sail Port Stephens - Day 6

Super Saturday sail-ebration was one to remember Tomorrow we honour the Anzac legend and our selfless service men and women. Today, however, was all about remembering the legacy of Roger Hicko Hickman, Sail Port Stephens mentor and ambassador, with a Super Saturday Sail-ebration involving around 180 boats, great and small. They were packed five deep off Nelson Bay breakwall, spinnakers radiating in the sunlight if not exactly straining under the late-morning westerly. There were four more starts offshore in the Fingal basin for the NSW IRC Championship and Performance Racing Division 1 thoroughbreds. All headed seawards for what s traditionally the Broughton Island passage race.

Sail Port Stephens - Day 5

SoFarr leading - Sail Port Stephens © Salty Dingo The world would ve watched in utter amazement today as 130 yachts lined up for the opening spell of a massive weekend of racing at Sail Port Stephens 2021. Spinnakers lined the entire bay, cheek and jowl, in a spectacle that turned the clock back to pre-COVID days, further mirrored by a simple post-race sausage sizzle from title sponsors Pantaenius Yacht and Sail Insurance that was appreciated by a horde of hungry sailors. Among the events under way are the NSW IRC Championships, Australian Sports Boat Association NSW Titles, and Flagstaff Marine Performance Cruising and Racing divisions. Tomorrow, it steps up another gear with an off-the-beach satellite regatta that has attracted a strong fleet of Finns, Sabots and Windsurfers.
