Nationals Planning Update….

The Qld 9ers are running a 3 day Harry Morton Camp from 13-15 December. This fits neatly between Sail Sydney and Sail Brisbane with several days either side for travel and recuperation.

The camp is open to all. Registration details will be posted shortly.

NB Sailsports have charter boats on their website for those traveling a little further for both Sail Brisbane and the Nationals.
