The 2025 Classic Autumn Rally

16th to 18th May 2025

After finishing our busy racing season and before we get ready for our winter maintenance, let’s throw our lines to capture the last of the warm days and calm breezes, to take us where the wind and tide favours us.

Let’s stop in some quiet bays and while away some time, relaxing on the beach, swimming, swapping stories and delighting in some delicious food and wine.

First departure from the vicinity of North Head at 1100 hours on Friday, 16th^h May
If you can’t get away on the Friday, no matter, we will let you know where we are headed for you to join us.

We will set up a “WhatsApp” so we can communicate with everyone who wants to be involved.

So, who is up for it. We are looking forward to cruising in your company.
