Western Region Regatta - Oct 29-30, 2016
Stawell Yacht Club held it's Western Region Regatta on Saturday the 29th and 30th of October, 2016. We had a fleet of 38 dinghys, made up of catamarans and mono hulled yachts.
It was great to see so many familiar faces and boats, and also some new comers. Competitors and vistors came from Melbourne, Warrnambool, Mount Gambier, Lake Boga, and in-between. We were fortunate to have a large fleet of Impulse dinghys, due to the regatta being included in their Traveller series. Four races were held under ideal conditions on Saturday, but unfortunately racing was cancelled due to very strong winds on Sunday.
We had a small, but enthusiastic band of volunteers who helped make the Regatta a great success. Thank you also to our supporters for their continued support with prizes.
