Revised August 2019
Victorian Sabre sailors – time to put some dates in your diary!
Proper planning prevents poor performance (hopefully) – so plan now. Our current plans for Sabre regattas in season 2019/20.
Club racing is the backbone of our season and for this reason we endeavour to restrict the Sabre regatta schedule. However regatta racingis our opportunity to learn, often with coaching, and string together a series. We recommend that you support regattas at other clubs – and they will support yours.
