INVITATION
An invitation is extended to owners of eligible boats to compete in the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia’s
2006 - 2007 Offshore Series.
Arguably the two most prestigious of the Cruising Yacht Club’s pointscores, the Blue Water Pointscore
and the Tasman Performance Series consist of seven races that commenced with the Sydney
Mooloolaba Yacht Race on 29 July 2006 and will finish with the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race on 24
March 2007. A solid Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race result is crucial to placing in this series as it is a
non-discardable race. Other races included are the Sydney - Bird Island Race, Flinders Island Race,
Cabbage Tree Island Race and the Newcastle Race. Each race is a designated trophy race.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
A boat MUST supply the documentation required by the Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions for a
race no later than the time specified in the Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions, as they may be
amended.
The Initial Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions are set out in the 2006 - 2007 Sailing Programme
published by the Organising Authority.
