This is the first ever 49er & 49erFX Oceania Championship, and the event forms part of the Continental 49er Circuit going forward.  Perth hosted the world in 2011 and 2015 is another great chance to sail these fantastic waters.  

The Oceania Championship is the second of two events for sailors to compete in.  There are around 25 to 30 49ers and hopefully around 15 FX’s. This is not counting international teams. International teams are very welcome to take advantage of the great sailing/training/living conditions.

With the Australian Championships (28th Dec – 3rd Jan) and Oceania regatta we have 2 very good regattas for teams to be involved in and we are really excited to be hosting these events.

This Friday: Q&A Live Call with Olympic Champ Dylan Fletcher – Build your boatspeed around YOU

What’s the quickest, most effective way to develop your Boat Speed? It’s a tough question so it’s worth asking someone who really does know about the shortcuts and roadblocks on the path to finding world-class speed. 

This Friday, the Road To Gold Live Q&A on Zoom will feature Dylan Fletcher who, with Stu Bithell, won that last-gasp Olympic gold medal in the 49er at last year’s Olympic Games.

Dylan is currently in Argentina about to see if he can win one of the most coveted World Championships of all, the International Moth Worlds. Obviously Dylan and Stu developed world-class boatspeed in the 49er, but Dylan has an additional challenge in the Moth. He’s a lightweight compared with the 90kg-plus sailors like Tom Slingsby who have been dominated the foiling singlehander in recent years. 

So when is it OK to go down a different development path? And how do you develop your Boatspeed for YOU?

We’ll be asking Dylan questions like:

  • The fastest, most effective way to develop your boatspeed
  • How to identify (and avoid) the time-sucking blind alleys
  • What he learned about boatspeed in the data-driven world of SailGP
  • Any speed-related questions YOU have for him…

WHEN: Fri 18th Nov 11am UK 🇬🇧

Join us on Friday morning (1100 hours UTC) where we’ll be talking all things speed-related with Dylan.

Key points to note-

  • Perth is hosting the Youth Nationals this season which finishes on the 10th.  By having our closing day on the 11th, we can promote the medal race and final races to all the youth sailors to come and watch.  The club has a great viewing area to watch racing and is quite a natural theatre. The club on Sunday’s has live music and usually around 300 people attend for the day with great food, drinks and atmosphere. We believe having our medal race on the Sunday and presentations will provide great promotion for our class and racing. Should be a great atmosphere and if the youth sailors support the event there could be at least 500 people to watch the medal race.
  • We are looking to make sure we have a good social calendar as well. We want to attract as many overseas sailors as we can and want to make it worthwhile for them to come all this way. We want them to have great sailing but also a great time away from home. Mindful that their major focus is racing but we want them to feel welcome and enjoy our hospitality.
  • In terms of participation, there should be around 25 to 30 49ers and hopefully around 15 FX’s. This is not counting international teams. We are very keen to have lots of different international teams competing and believe we offer great sailing/training/living conditions. With the Australian Championships (28th Dec – 3rd Jan) and Oceania regatta there are 2 very good regattas for teams to be involved in and make it worth their while to make the trip.
