It’s Cooloola Cup Time!

The racing season is almost at the end for the 2022-2023 series and we have had a mixed bag of weather from blowing a gale to the wind sucking and not blowing.
The last racing will be the Cooloola Cup Regatta on 6 and 7 May. Last year was well attended with a good fleet of Weta dinghies or rather trimarans as well as the local fleet, a mixture of Flying Fifteens and single handed dinghies.
Unfortunately, racing on the second day was postponed and then cancelled. Although it was a glorious sunny day, there was not any wind. This year we are hoping for a good breeze.
The Cooloola Cup regatta is the weekend after the annual Bay to Bay race, which is Tin Can Bay to Hervey Bay with an overnight stop at Garry’s anchorage. The Bay to Bay is slightly earlier this year and will be well and truly over by 1 May.
It will be a busy time on the waters of the Tin Can Bay Inlet.
Racing may be finished but sail training, ‘Green Fleet’, will continue weather permitting, on Saturdays. Anyone interested in learning to sail, please contact Russell 0405 063 894 or Kay 0447 631 479.
