The Zhik Womens Sprint Series will be held on Sunday 3 November 2024.

This new regatta offers a series of short races with a round robin and final series in Melges 20 lightweight sportsboats.

Organisers are hoping that provided one-design equipment will enable a more diverse group of women to participate and the short course racing format will be more exciting and engaging.

There will be an opportunity for training in the Melges 20s on the Saturday afternoon before a 9am briefing on the Sunday and racing getting under way at 10.30am.

Following one final race to decide the placegetters in the afternoon, there will be live music, canapes and the prize-giving back at the club.

"We are looking forward to having a fun and exciting event on November 3 and are thrilled to announce that Zhik have come on board as event sponsor," said MHYC Sailing Committee member Katie O'Mara.

"Zhik are providing some fantastic prizes for the placegetters and every crew member at the prize-giving will be in the lucky draw for a Zhik OFS 800 Jacket," she said.

The Notice of Race is published and entry is now open via the event webpage. The event is limited to 12 teams and priority will be given to MHYC members, but sailors from other Sydney clubs are also encouraged to enter.

For any enquiries, email or call the MHYC Sailing Office on 8969 3103 (Wednesday to Saturday).
