"The
South Coaster"
Invitation
to Race/Expression of interest
The
Royal Motor Yacht Club Port Hacking and the Batemans Bay Sailing
Club
invite
owners of eligible yachts to enter the Sixth Port Hacking Batemans
Bay Coastal Regatta 2nd to 8th January 2007
Overview
The Port
Hacking – Batemans Bay Coastal Regatta offers a mid-summer
opportunity for a wide range of club racing yachts to participate in
family - friendly competition in safe coastal waters of Southern New
South Wales. The Regatta is comprised of three components. A two
day Mini Series off Port Hacking, a Category 3 passage race from
Port Hacking to Batemans Bay, and a two day Mini Series in Batemans
Bay.
More Options
in ‘07
Yachts may
enter either of the mini series which are open to Category 7 inshore
yachts, the Passage Race or the full Regatta. Each Mini Series will
have its own range of prizes. The overall Regatta winner will be
the yacht having the highest combined result for one Mini Series
plus the Passage Race. A
yacht that has sailed all races may discard one complete Mini Series
result. A yacht’s
result in the passage race
shall not be used as a discard.
However a yacht will have a fair chance to win the overall Regatta
prize while sailing just one Mini Series.
The Regatta
will be supported by an on-shore social programme for sailors and
non-sailors alike.

Expression of
interest and feedback
We invite you
to send us your Expression of interest for the 2007 regatta and
also to provide some feedback to assist us in our planning and
to ensure that we meet your needs when you join us in January
'07.
Batemans Bay
Sailing Club is considering the provision of camping facilities
adjacent to the marina area and we need to know how many people
may find such a facility helpful. Also the two clubs are looking
into some organisation of more social events, particularly
whilst the BB mini series is on. Again some idea of interest in
such arrangements would help us to ensure that we provide what
is required.
And any other
comments that you may have will be appreciated so that as we
work on the details we can consider your ideas.
