The Prince Alfred YC may have cancelled racing on the Saturday of last weekend’s Australian East Coast Championship but that didn’t stop the Melges 24 sailors going out and enjoying some amazing conditions on the harbour.

Forecast Fifteen to twenty knots of breeze should provide some spectacular racing for day one of the Melges 24 and Melges 32 East Coast Championships this Saturday.
