National E

Ahoy there sailors!!

It’s cold and wintery, but time to start planning for the Nationals…just think of lovely warm breezes, tough competition and fantastic camping and accommodation – not to mention catching up with old friends (rivals) and hopefully making some new ones.

The 51st Australian Championships will be held at Wangi Wangi, about 200km north of Sydney on Lake Macquarie. It’s a beautiful spot with 2.5km of unobstructed racing waters (and the lake is apparently twice as big as Sydney Harbour, with plenty of activities available)!

There is a range of accommodation, from waterfront camping, to cabins and houses for rent. Check out Accommodation options
