Forster Wild Cat Regatta

The count down is on for the season starter, The 2012 Forster Wild Cat Regatta at the Great Lakes Sailing Club in Northern NSW.

The regatta kicks of on Saturday the 29th September till the 1st October.

If you are only going to one regatta all season, hell this is it! This is the one regatta that everyone attends and everyone loves. The past couple of years it has rained but you still come away with a smile on your face going that was fun.

Team Harken rigging up last year.

300m of beach chocka block with beach cats of all sizes and classes.
The regatta in it's hay day during the 80's we use to see 250+ beach cats trying to rig up on the beach, with the insurge that we have seen of both old sailors returning and new sailors taking up beach cat racing the numbers will slowly start to climb back up there again soon. I can see a three figure fleet hitting the water this year.

It's a great time to be part of it all again.

Bring it on!
