The Victorian State Championships are now set in stone for the weekend of October the 29th and Sunday the 30th 2011. The Melbourne Cup is on the following Tuesday so you interstaters should stay to help cover your trip costs with horse winnings.

The Brighton Yacht Club have offered great support accomodating us with gate starts, race officer and support boats. Any body who is able to assist on rescue boats will be gratefully accomodated.

We have a sponsor so there will be prizes/prize money as well. The club is also running other class regattas that weekend on a separate course for Sports Boats, Sydney 38's and the selection trials for the Etchell worlds so it should be an awesome series with plenty of frivolity in the bar for those that are inclined that way.

There are 3 races planned for the Saturday and 4 for the Sunday dropping your worst for a final result, there will be a BBQ after each days racing and great yard space for rigging.

Let me know if you are thinking of coming and I will look in to accomodation options for those that are interested.
