Middle Harbour Yacht Club has announced the postponement of the MHYC Women’s Regatta which was scheduled for August 3 this year.
The club was looking forward to introducing a new format in 2024 since re-establishing its fleet of Melges 20 training boats.
“Our aim was to change to a series of short races with a round robin and final series in lightweight sportsboats,” said Sailing Committee Member Katie O’Mara.
“Provided one-design equipment will enable a more diverse group of women to participate and the short course racing format will be more exciting and engaging.”
“Unfortunately, we could not complete the refurbishment of the boats in time for this season but are excited to have locked in two regatta dates for 2024-2025.”
“The MHYC Women’s Melges 20 Regatta will be held on Sunday the 3rd of November and the MHYC Womens Regatta for mixed keelboats and one-design classes is scheduled for Saturday the 10th of May,” said O’Mara.
MHYC has an active group of women sailors who participate in every aspect of the sport and club life. The club’s program includes a Women’s Twilight Helm Series and MHYC members have performed well in the Sydney Harbour Women’s Keelboat Series.
