Planning underway for Audi IRC Australian Championship

Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club (NCYC), in conjunction with Audi and Yachting Australia, will be hosting the Audi IRC Australian Championship over Easter (17-20 April 2014). The Championship will comprise both windward leeward style racing and a long and short passage race all held directly off Newcastle.

The event is for all yachts holding a current IRC certificate and Category 4 Safety Certificate. Sixteen entries have already been received for the 2014 Audi IRC Australian Championship.

Prior to the Audi IRC Australian Championship there will be feeder yacht races from Pittwater to Newcastle (5 April 2014) and Newcastle to Port Stephens (6 April 2014) as well as the Sail Port Stephens Regatta which will be held 11-16 April 2014 (including the NSW IRC State Championships 11-13 April 2014). Regatta entry includes berthing and a fun and family friendly social programme which is currently being finalised for the event.
