Wednesday Afternoon Racing
Why not treat your staff or clients to an afternoon of fun by entering a yacht in Moreton Bay's famous 'WAGS' race! This race is held each Wednesday and is designed entirely for crews participating to enjoy themselves. It is a 'pursuit' style event with the yachts start time depending on the speed and handicap of the yacht (smallest boats start first). The school has various sized yachts available depending on the size of the group. The afternoon begins with lunch at the Yacht club before leaving the marina for a short practice before the start. After the race we return to the yacht club for the presentation and a drink. Feel free to stay on for dinner. Hire of the yacht, qualified skipper and softdrinks and bottled water (lunch not included).
Full Day Duration 9.00am to 4.30pm
Includes pre race briefing and training in the morning with the yachts rafting up at anchor for lunch. The yachts will then complete two short races or one longer race depending on the winds and the group level of competitiveness. Yachts will then return to the marina for de-brief.
