Light winds to begin season

New and faster; Mark sets the tone with a convincing win in the season opener.

The 2026/27 Season is officially off and running. It was a subdued start but a start non-the-less, with only a small fleet turning out to contest the season opener in conditions that were generally light but still very sailable. A gentle introduction to the season is better than being blown off the water and those that did compete were thankful for the dust off and opportunity reaquaint themselves with muscles not used over the past four months. No doubt numbers will continue to improve as the weather does likewise and the likelyhood of drier conditions going forward should augur well for some excellent sailing in the months ahead. Next Saturday (Aug 29) the club will host another round of the Personal Handicap Series which will be followed by the first Club Championship heats on Sep 5. The AGM will also be held on that day and all members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Results have now been updated. 

A calendar for the new season is available from the main menu, and the main regatta dates have also been posted to 'upcoming events'. 

Inital member rosters can be accessed from the main menu. 

The club welcomes new members, and interested persons can contact the club by emailing bigriversailingclub@gmail.com. Contact phone numbers are also available from the main menu. Visiting sailors from clubs afilliated with Australian Sailing are likewise welcome to participate in club racing.
