Oceania Laser Masters Championships Update
Dear Sailors, two changes have been made to improve the Oceania Fiji Masters in October.
Firstly we have combined the Radial event with the Standard Rig one to be run between 13th and 19th October (with racing 15th to 19th October) i.e. same as for the original Standard Rig event. We will have enough charter boats to manage this and having the two rigs together will make a better and more exciting event.
Second we have introduced the new Corinthian Category to allow sailors aged 21 to 34 to participate. This category is proving popular with local sailors. Read below for details.
The Notice of Race posted HERE and the on line entry HERE now reflect these two changes.
Entries for the event will cut off on the 13th September, please make sure you have your charter booking in by July 31st with PSA.
The Open Laser Championships for 2018 were held in Brisbane and hosted by the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. A total of 175 Lasers competed across 4.7, Radial and Standard rigs in breezes ranging from 6 knots up to 20 knots gusts on windward – leeward courses. The days were hot with mostly good afternoon sea breezes and occasionally the threat of an afternoon thunderstorm. Although sailing was cancelled on one day due to a lack of breeze, eleven of the scheduled twelve races were completed.
