ACT NS14 Association

Some action shots from a sendy sail Phase X had on Sunday ⛵️ Chucking on the trapeze to upgrade the NS14 to an MG14, they ripped around the lake in 15-18kt winds, and had some chilly swims ⛵️

Today we wish the team of Alchemy (NS1808) the best of luck in racing in the Champion of Champions regatta, representing the Ymca Sailing Club Skiff Div 5, racing against all the champions from the other divisions from both the Y & C*C ⛵️⛵️⛵️

Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to show some new sailors the ropes of an NS14 ⛵️ Albeit a floater, when the small breaths of wind came through, they had a great time getting around ⛵️

Over the weekend 9 ACT NS14s raced on Sydney's Middle Harbour at a Scout regatta, joining 4 NSW NS14s winds varying from a float though to blowing 15kts when the rain blew through, they had a busy and successful weekend taking out the podium for handicap and most line honours ⛵️
