Largs Bay is the most northerly of Adelaide’s beachside suburbs and the Largs Bay Sailing Club offers great facilities from which to host this event. Largs Bay has an experienced race management team with extensive experience hosting National and other championship regattas. Your association is confident that the club will ensure that sailors are well catered for throughout the series, both on and off the water. Their large clubhouse includes a bar and modern catering facilities and there are ample rigging areas on a lawn area in front of the club and on the broad sandy beach plus there is ample parking adjacent to the club. The club has excellent spectator viewing from a wide balcony on the second level of the club. The club encourages family groups with plenty of recreation space including a TV projection screen, computer games console, two squash courts, a snooker table and a childrens playground in the neighbouring park. There is plenty to do in the local area with the Semaphore Foreshore amusement park, restaurants and other tourist attractions. Largs Bay is just a 30 minute train ride to the Adelaide city attraction. The event will include plenty of Social activities for competing sailors and their partners and families. Please view the Notice of Race and the accommodation guide on the club website at www.largsbay.yachting.org.au/ under the ”Regattas” menu item to help you plan your visit.

madboutcats Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have 3 crew that want to have a go at the nationals with me on the 5.8, my main crew will be a mate from Adelaide that doesn't understand sailing and loves to hang on, he sails about 3 times a year with me mainly for the drinking my wife is my normal crew she'd like a race or two my 16yo daughter would like a race or two They're all a similar weight, Is this okay or will it create a drama?
