15.01.2022 We are still reconciling the numbers from the 2019 Heaven Can Wait Charity Sailing Regatta and we know they will be down on 2018. We are however, expecting to f...inish up with about $40,000 going to the charities. Much of the available charity funding over the past year has been directed toward drought relief and that has had an impact on our fundraising activities. The weather for the regatta resulted in a few boats backing out of the regatta and that also had an impact on fundraising activities. See more
