We have some very exciting news about a forthcoming event. The RS100 and RS200 World Championships are being hosted by the Melbourne Fleet from 21-25 January 2016.
PLEASE SEE BELOW REGARDING 28 FEBRUARY 2015 DEADLINE FOR ENTERING THIS EVENT AND PAYING DEPOSIT FOR CONTAINER SPACE IF REQUIRED.
The Melbourne Fleets are based at the Royal Brighton and Black Rock Yacht Clubs on Port Phillip Bay. Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, South Eastern Australia, is an easy, multicultural, cosmopolitan city with a range of activities to entertain - from world class sporting events to galleries and museums, fashion to fine dining - all easily accessible to the Yacht Club, and affordable. Melbourne is known as the cultural, sporting and fashion capital of Australia.
The Melbourne Fleet is very proud of the quality of racing they have and the quality of regattas they host. The regatta will find us:
- Sailing on World Class sailing waters, with ideal sailing conditions within close proximity to the Clubhouse and marina facilities.
- Racing under the management of World Class and experienced Race Managers.
- Using excellent club facilities include café/restaurant, gym and sauna.
- Able to come before and stay after the regatta.
- Having lots of accommodation and dining options within close proximity, including low cost option.
The RS Class Association and RS Sailing will arrange containers for boats to leave UK around mid November 2015, returning mid March 2016. The cost of the boat transport will be subsidised by sponsorship – see below.
The event will be 5 days racing with loads of socials. The entry fee will be approx. £100/€120, which again is subsidised by sponsorship.
As well as local accommodation option, the club will canvass their yacht owners to find accommodation options on board right in the marina.
The event will be sponsored, including a contribution to the cost of boat transport in a container. Container cost will be between £700 - £1,000/boat (depending on freight rates closer to the event, final sponsorship amount and number of boats). The definite cost will be known by 31 October 2015, at which point the outstanding payment will be required.
