Highlights
- Sail in a real yacht race on Sydney Harbour at twilight
- Pull ropes with the crew or relax and watch it all happen around you
Experience both the thrill and tranquility of twilight racing on Sydney Harbour. You can either have a go pulling ropes with the crew or simply sit back and enjoy the views as the sun sets over Sydney. You will feel like part of the crew by the end of the race.
What's Included?
- Watch preparations on board for the race
- Pre-race briefing and basic sailing instruction
- Race from Rushcutters Bay to Watsons Bay and back
- A complimentary wine or beer at sunset
Join the local sailing club as you race anywhere up to 100 or so boats competing in a twilight race across the harbour. This is a great introduction to sailing in a competitive and safe environment and a perfect way to de-stress from your day. Several regular crew will sail Pilgrim, a beautiful 58 foot custom built yacht, around the course. Jump on board as the boat is being set up for racing at 5pm. Then you will be given all the instruction you need for the race and are encouraged to get involved as much as you would like during the race.
Sailors and non sailors are welcome to enjoy the experience and pull ropes or just kick back and watch the excitement build around you! The crew are there to try and win but also make sure that you have the a best time possible- you'll be sure to feel like part of the crew by the end of the race.
