2011 Batemans Bay Regatta

The 2011 Batemans Bay Regatta will be held on April 9th and 10th.  Traditionally the Batemans Bay Regatta is held on the weekend closest to ANZAC Day. However, in 2011 ANZAC Day will be on Easter Monday. Holding the regatta over Easter would clash with NSW Championships in several classes so the regatta will instead be held two weekends earlier. NSW schools break up on April 8th, giving NSW based sailors the opportunity to have an extended family break in Batemans Bay.

MAST UP STORAGE

The recent sailing forum strongly endorsed a proposal that the club submit a proposal to Council to build a security fence around the perimeter of the clubhouse precinct (largely where the perimeter is now marked by fencing, posts and the beach access path) and install external security lighting, so as to allow the club to provide mast-up storage on a fee-paying basis. This facility could be available to trailer-sailers, sports boats, catamarans or dinghies; either under a long-term or shorter-term contract. The committee has proposed this to Council and received a positive response. The Club will now write to Council confirming its intention to proceed and asking Council to advise on the next steps to be taken to achieve formal approval.”
If any member might like to use mast-up storage on a fee-paying basis from next season, or knows any boat owner who would like to do so, could they please let Roger Freney know by phone 0244715726 or use the contact page on this website.
