Hi Everyone
The Invitation Race for the Cherub Nationals at Yeppoon is now just 44 sleeps away. For some people it may be time to have a serious think about getting organised to be there.
Yeppoon is one of the world’s top tropical sailing venues with a great club in a resort town that will be fabulous venue for partying and a n enjoyable holiday destination for the whole family.
Sailing wise it is open water sailing with steady breezes. This is the first time ever the Cherub class has been to this part of the world and this may be a once in a sailing career opportunity to be part of it.
If you are not yet organised to go:
- There is accommodation available in the NSW organised Motel: Contact Simon Blatchford at simon_blatchford@hotmail.com or on 0408272971 for details.
- Boat transport can be arranged.
- There are people looking to crew or to skipper if you need one of these.
- There are boats available to borrow or lease.
If you need assistance with one of the above just let us know.
The dates are 28 Dec to 4 Jan so you can attend and still make it to other sailing events later in January.
In short, there are no excuses for not being there.
If you are already organised and planning to attend, please note that the closing date for entries to avoid the late fee is 9 December.

The next big event is Round Two of the Sates which will be raced on 26-27 November at Belmont. Make sure you get organised in time. If you feel that you need a bit of practice sailing on Lake Macquarie before the States then give some consideration to the Bethwaite Challenge Regatta on 12-13 November.
This is the first year the Cherub class has been officially included in the regatta. In past years even the Belmont Cherubs have stayed away that weekend but this time we been invited to attend and there should be a good Cherub fleet ready to race.
