Middle Harbour Yacht Club is broadening the appeal of the 38th Sydney Short Ocean Racing Championship (SSORC), which is sure to boost even more interest in the annual two day event to be held over the weekend of 28 and 29 November.
"We are intending to include a NSW InterClub Challenge in the SSORC and will shortly post an amendment to the Notice of Race,” Ian Box, a Past Commodore of MHYC and Event Chairman announced today.
“Teams of three yachts need to have a combined TCC of no more than 3.50 and the inaugural winners will be decided by the best team result across the SSORC and the Sydney Harbour Regatta in March 2016,” Box said, “but in future years, other Clubs events are expected also to be included.” Read more...
