2013 REGATTA...

Lake Hope, Cooper Creek, Mulka and Etadunna Stations
7th-12th July 2013

Regatta Report, Results and Presentation Night
The Club's 4th Regatta was an overwhelming success with 32 yachts, 70 adults and 14 children attending. The more challenging access track proved no more destructive on boats and trailers than previous regattas (probably due to better preparation). We had the best weather for any regatta yet with challenging winds early, during the serious races, and lighter winds for the social events. The water was warmer than usual, dawn temperatures ranged from freezing to 7 degrees and daytime maximimums from 15 to 25.


Our volunteer helpers were thanked with a bottle of Heartland wine
