The Races

St Helena Cup 4 & 5 October 2008

A major event on the sailing calendar, held over 2 days (Sat &Sun). Each year this event sees the largest number of entries of any yacht regatta and offers spectacular racing in huge fleets. The School’s Sydney 41 will be right at the front of this big fleet. As this weekend is very popular book early to avoid missing out.

$150 for one day or $270 for the two days racing.

Please note race days are subject to weather and cancellation by organisers. If a race day is cancelled for any reason a substitute race or refund will be offered.

Southern Cross Yachting may substitute OCEANS for another similar racing yacht if the yacht is unavailable due to breakages or mechanical failure.

Limited number of crew positions available so book early to avoid disappointment.
