What are the longest off the beach catamaran distance races in Aus this year?


Recommended Posts

G'day we had a successful Earthmovers race on Saturday where 17 cats raced a 3 lap buoy course of 21.5km per lap giving us 64.5km as the crow flies and a bit over 70km of sailing. I'm doing a write up for it and would like to know where that sits regarding distance races completed this season.

There is a post in the stingray/cobra forum titled " Marathoners Race" talking about a race for off the beachers, around French Island in westernport bay, which says the race distance is 77km, but I'm not sure if it was run or not, as it was a (very!!) windy day. That would be a blast on a Stingray....

45km one lap race

How does a 45km one lap race grab you after two days of bouy racing?

The Townsville annual Sprints Regatta, held over the June long weekend, will this year include the Inaugural Round Magnetic Island Marathon, the QLD Tasar State Titles and is also a round of the Nacra NQ Super Series.

Sprint races will be held on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th June and are open to all off the beach dinghies, multi-hulls and yachts. One design and mixed fleets can expect to compete in many races with close racing over short courses.

The Inaugural Around Magnetic Island Race will be held on Monday 13th June. Any off the beach boat with a VYC yardstick 108 or under and Safety Cat 5 yachts are invited to enter this 24NM one lap race of the island.

TSC is expecting a strong fleet of dinghies and catamarans including F18's to compete and is hoping the race will rival the Round Dunk Island race held at Mission Beach annually.

The Notice Of Race is posted on the club's website at www.tsvsailingclub.com

Are you looking for a mid-winter break from the southern chill? How do 28oC days and 16oC nights with 22oC water temperature appeal to you this June?
