Middle Harbour Yacht Club Hosts the Sydney Harbour Regatta

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker I want to recognise the Middle Harbour Yacht Club [MHYC] who recently hosted the Sydney Harbour Regatta on the 5th and 6th of March. This year was the 17th anniversary of the Sydney harbour Regatta which is one of the largest competitive keelboat races in the entire country. 190 keelboats raced across 19 different divisions. Congratulations to MHYC on hosting this event successfully. Despite terrible weather conditions and having to change some of the race locations, you were still able to make the regatta go ahead. I want to congratulate all of the MHYC crews and other participants across all regatta divisions. I want to thank the entire MHYC board and team, led by Commodore Peter Lewis, for hosting this huge event. It is such a great achievement for a local club to host a nationally renowned sailing event. I extend my thanks to all of the clubs, partners, and sponsors who also assisted in making the regatta go ahead this year. I also want to acknowledge the MHYC for all of the sailing opportunities it provides for the community, not just at a competitive level.
