Australian Youth Championships
Congratulations to WSC Members who competed in the recent 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 at Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club and also those who achieved selection for the provisional 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 (𝐀𝐒𝐘𝐓).
It was great to see many members attending the regatta in different capacities.
Unfortunately bush fire haze affected 50% of the event and our sailors had mixed results with minimal racing.
Our sympathy goes to those impacted by the fires, Woollahra Sailing Club will be supporting relief organisations.
