SPASC’s ever-popular, season-closing ANZAC Day Regatta is scheduled for Thursday, 25 April, sponsored by Ronstan – ClearStart Watches & Timers – “the official timekeeper of the 2019 ANZAC Day Regatta” (NOR available here).
In breaking news, Rod Waterhouse and SPASC’s own Brett White will be sailing the Worrell 1000 mile race, from 6 to 18 May 2019. Brett will represent SPASC in this massive and extreme event, sailing a NACRA Carbon 20 over 13 days from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Virginia Beach, Virginia in the US. Our thoughts are with Brett and his team, with best wishes for a safe and successful race.
And finally, this season’s Presentation Day has been rescheduled for 1 June, starting at 2:30 pm at the clubhouse. We look forward to seeing you all there.
