Easter Regatta 2010 - 2nd - 4th April, 2010. Incorporating QLD Tasar States

Easter Regatta 2010

2nd - 4th April, 2010. Incorporating QLD Tasar States

It's that time of year again! Easter in Airlie Beach means some terrific small boat racing on the waters of Pioneer Bay.

This year we're again incorporating the Queensland State Tasar Titles, so for those of you planning to head to the Nationals here in July it will be a great opportunity to get a feel for the local conditions.

The Easter Regatta is open to all classes of off-beach boat - junior, senior, one hull and two. So, whether you sail a Corsair, Laser, 125, 49er, Sabot, Opti, Nacra, Hobie, Foiling Moth - or one of a hundred other classes of boat, we'd love to see you there!

Full details of the Regatta and details on how to enter and where you can stay in Airlie Beach are available on the official Easter Regatta website.

Adventure of a lifetime

The Rotary Club of Airlie Beach Inc has sponsored four berths on the Young Endeavour and is looking for enthusiastic young people aged 16 to 23 from the Whitsunday Region to participate in the experience of a lifetime.
This voyage will be from Mackay to Shute Harbour and will take place from 12 July 2010 - 22 July 2010.
The Club will cover the cost of the voyage and will assist with transport to Mackay if necessary.
The Young Endeavour is a 44m-long tall ship purpose-built for sail training, with modern technology and world-class safety navigation equipment.
Voyages on this ship are challenging and exciting, allowing participants to learn more about themselves and how to work with others as a team.
"For 11 days with 23 other young Aussies you learn how to sail and how to work together," said Merewyn Wright, the project coordinator for the Rotary Club of Airlie Beach.
"You don't need to be a sailor, most people who participate have never sailed before," she said.
Participants learn to sail the tall ship on the open sea. They are involved in all aspects of sailing a square rigger from climbing the mast, setting the sails, navigating, keeping watch, taking the helm and helping in the galley.
Merewyn says, "Applicants need a sense of adventure and a willingness to push themselves to the limit, this is a chance for them to discover new reserves of character, commitment, confidence, teamwork and leadership."
The Young Endeavour was the United Kingdom's bicentennial gift to Australia in 1988. The Young Endeavour Youth Scheme manages the program and the ship is staffed by a professional Royal Australian Navy crew.
This is the second year the Club has sponsored local young people on a Young Endeavour Voyage. In 2009, five Whitsunday regional students, Eve Fleming, James Bedford, Jayden Lorensini and Mitchel Whitton were the successful candidates chosen by the club to for this experience of a lifetime.
Applicants for the four sponsored berths must meet the Young Endeavour's usual eligibility requirements and live in the Whitsunday region to be considered for Rotary sponsorship.
Applications close on Wednesday, 31 March.
