Gold Coast Cat Week
After having been a great success in previous years Gold Coast Cat Week returns to Southport Yacht Club from Sunday, 30th January – Thursday, 04th February 2010. Incepted by longstanding sponsors of the event, Steve and Kerry from Fastway Couriers, Gold Coast Cat Week provides a week of great summer racing and fun for off-the-beach catamarans.
To keep racing interesting and diverse the racing will be held on a range of different courses, from passage racing to short course races. A lay day on Monday gives time to do some tweaking on the boats – or simply laze around and enjoy the Gold Coast beaches. And the Beach Party at Hollywell on Saturday 30th January after racing ensures that the social side of sailing also gets its deserved attention.
As in previous years, Gold Coast Cat Week will incorporate the Nacra Class South East Queensland Championships to be held on 30th & 31st January 2010.
And for those who just cannot get enough of racing: the Great Race – a long distance race from the Gold Coast to Brisbane, held on 06th February 2010 – will provide a great opportunity to test skills, stamina and willpower.
For more information and the Notice of Race contact the Southport Yacht Club – Hollywell Sailing Office on (07) 5537 7030 or sailing@southportyachtclub.com.au.
