Hi to all on the forum,
I am reaching out to all those who own or who can beg borrow our steal a yacht 29ft or under, who has any interest to sail out to sea but has found it to daunting , or to expensive to buy a true racing yacht.
My thoughts are an impromptu race of like minded sailors starting either in Sydney , out to Brown's Mountain around Brown's then finishing at Broken Bay or visa versa depending where we can get the best social event after the race .
The idea is a scaled down Jester event once a year to allow the common man or woman a chance to have some adventure in his or her life without being a millionaire.
Just two stipulations under 30ft and single handed .
You would be responsible for your own insurance as it basically will be a meeting of like minded people.
I am looking for expressions of interest also someone who would enjoy or have the experience to help organise the event .
Cheers William![]()

Hi William,
I am interested in your idea, keep me posted.
Thanks

Thanks Evangeline , will do , i have a few ideas like having a trophy for first place , trophy for yacht who traveled the furthest to grey to the start, bottle of rum for the smallest yacht to finish. Might as well have a prize for the largest fish caught as from what I have seen there are some very big ones out on the mount.
Trophy for the last yacht to cross the line cause chances are they really tried hard, or started on the rum earlier, .
I think the distance is quite easily done but for some it may be their first time in deeper water , and way more interesting than sailing around the sticks.
Plus the social side after the race should be fantastic..
