SHEEP STATION SERIES
The Sheep Station Trophy Series is an inter-club challenge between the SASC and the Blues Point Yacht Club. The Sheep Station Trophy series consists of four races — there will be no discards. Starting times and courses are shown on pages 16 and 18. Yachts entered in the Mixed Fleet Series may be selected to match the number of entries from the BPYC if there are not sufficient yachts entered in the Sheep Station Trophy Series. The Saturday Spring/Summer Pointscore Sailing Instructions will apply for this series

26/10/2024 - RESULTS:
The race was held in winds varying between SW to SE of around 15 kts gusting to 18kts. Due to the variability, the division ahed of the Mixed fleet was set course “O” with a start line in Athol Bight. Due to the variability in the wind, the starter decided to change the course to course “G”. Unfortunately for some unobservant entrants, it was unclear as course “G” has a start line in Shell Cove. If a radio call was made, it was not heard and several entrants including some from SASC were somewhat confused on the way to the N2 mark. However, it was a pleasant, sunny afternoon on Sydney Harbour. Congratulations to all entrants.
