Photo from ABRW Facebook Page Meetings Cancelled until Further Notice 2 Monthly Events (Sept) 6 Sept Westerly Trophy 19th-20th Sept Bribie Cup & Coolaroo Trophy 19th-20th Sept Cruise to the Brisbane River 27th Sept SAGS Commodore’s Comment By Bruce Wieland Dear multihull sailors, I do hope that you have remained healthy during the lockdown no matter where in the world you are. I empathize with anyone who has caught the Covid-19 virus and wish you a full recovery. It has been a difficult time for many, both socially and financially. Lyn and I have been fortunate to make it through the lockdown (so far) without any adverse effects despite closing our business for two months. As for MYCQ, it was a difficult decision at the time to cancel the 2020 Brisbane to Gladstone Race, but in hindsight we would never have been allowed to run the race. One positive is that there are several new big multihulls on the scene in Australia, so the 2021 B2G may just be spectacular! Other than the B2G, the lockdown has had little effect on our program as we deliberately kept our calendar sparce during the winter. RQYS cancelled the Brisbane to Hamilton Island Race, but the Brisbane to Keppel Race did happen, although there were no multihulls entered. While Airlie Beach Race week has been run and won, Hammo and Magnetic Island Race weeks were also cancelled. Congratulations to Dale Mitchell and crew who won on OMR with the ORMA 60 (great to see it going well!), and Elizabeth Williams who won the Passage Series on Tyee 111.
