Prizes will be awarded for line, handicap and 1st Corinthian (no pros) crew. No matter where you are in the fleet there is always someone to race.

2020 will also see the Nats combined with the Owners Champs to ensure maximum participation without over committing boats and crews during what will now hopefully be a very busy sailing period. "Owner drivers" will get two bites of the cherry and will be scored for the trophies and prizes of both events.

This year will also see a new and improved format of race types (W/L's and harbour race back to club) and locations. Racing will be followed each day by C19 compliant gatherings, expert race debriefs and a C19 compliant party  .
