Details of the 2009-10 Nationals to be held at Mounts Bay Sailing Club in Perth have now been posted on the Cherub Web Site, Cherub Central. The event will run from Monday 28 December
2009 through to Thursday 7 January 2010. The Invitation Race is scheduled to be sailed on 29 December and the first heat on 30 December. Two Lay Days are planned to fit with the packed social program. The Notice of Race has been released and the entry form is now available for download from the web site. The series will be sailed over nine heats with a mix of four short races and five
long races. In a departure from normal practice the racing will be on windward and leeward courses in
order to allow several of the races to be sailed in Matilda Bay allowing spectators to get close to the
action.
The Social Program looks like being a hit for everyone. Starting out with a “Team Theme” welcome night on the 29th the social program will feature events every day of the championship including,
Trivia Night, New Year's Eve Party, Cottesloe Beach Day, Pub Crawl, Night Tour of Fremantle Goal (not related to the pub crawl), Outdoor Cinema, Rottnest Island visit, “State of Origin” Team Challenge Night, Karaoke and lots and lots of parties. With containers booked to depart from Adelaide and
from Sydney/Newcastle there is no excuse for not being part of the action at what is shaping up to be
the liveliest series for some time. Perth is always on for fresh breezes and outstanding sailing.
