A sunny day for the Giant Steps Charity Regatta

Exciting conditions for the Giant Steps Charity Regatta at MHYC on Friday with the sun shining and a gusty 18-23 knot westerly breeze.

The club was filled with 80 corporate participants for a fabulous days racing on Sydney Harbour taking in the sites of the Opera House and harbour bridge. This event is not possible without the generous donation of boats from MHYC skippers and their crew. Their support is greatly appreciated by the event organisers with money raised supporting children and young adults with Autism.

There were smiles all round as crews headed back to the club for a gourmet BBQ and presentation.

The results were close with the first seven boats finishing within four minutes of each other. Blue Tack came in first on the day skippered by Brent Lawson and supported by employees of VSL Australia. Only fourteen seconds later Cava came in second place with a team from Brown Wright Stein closely followed by team Kellor-Intrafor Joint Venture on Zen.
