25.01.2022 Last night we celebrated the challenging yet successful sailing season of 2020 at the Commodore's Dinner. Thank you to all the sponsors and crews who attended the evening. Also a special thank you to our commodore Cheryl, and the whole NQCYC committee. Congratulations to the Air Apparent crew on winning the club championship once again. Well done team. We're looking forward to you trying to defend the title next year. There is still plenty of sailing action happening in the next 3 weeks with our Summer Series starting on Saturday 5th December.

22.01.2022 Today, the Club hosted The Don McLean Memorial Race, 7 Yachts raced with Air Apparent taking line honours and as tradition has it, having to cook the Bar B Q "yet again" this was the second Memorial race on the revised racing calendar, the first being in memory of Warren Dickinson, on behalf of the NQCYC I would like to thank Mrs Margaret Dickinson and The McLean Family for their continued support of their Memorial Races, these races help keep the spirit and memory of these two very fine Gentlemen/Yachtsmen alive. Thanks to Mick for shouting the bar. Next Sunday is this writers race. Commodore Cheryl.

A perfect breeze is predicted for Saturday's casual sail, starting from 1.30pm, and Sunday's Spindrift race around Gloucester Island. While it might seem like a good idea to stop at Cape Gloucester Resort for lunch, it's not going to win you any of the prizes put up by Spindrift's old owner Bruce Shanks.
