Great video... so it it true that you get up to 100 boats at the Nationals? Looks like fun and great fleet racing.

Hi cjdance, thanks for the comment! Indeed the Sabres do enjoy big fleets at most regattas...and it really is great fun. Most of the local guns sail from a club called Blairgowrie, not far from Safety Beach. Don't be daunted by the fleet size or the hot shots though, It really is worth coming along to a Nationals just for the experience...

Good video, have you got something without so many edits?

Thanks thewedgteam. I'll make sure I'm there! I can now see why they call the class "the fun single hander!"

I think I saw a few of those gun Blairgowrie boats upside down in the video :-)
