Nights like last night remind me why I work so hard to show others how amazing Sailing can be. A Thursday night sail on Sydney Harbour = magic. A couple of friends, a nice breeze and a great boat. It does not get much better than that!
I am lucky to be in the position that I can borrow a friends boat to go for a sail. I know I am biased but the Adams 10 class really is something special. Easy to sail, enjoyable to drive and perfect for a twilight. Since selling my Adams 10 whenever I have wanted to get out sailing I have been able to borrow Sirius and I am very thankful for that. Sirius beat me overall the year we tied for the Gunboat Trophy so it is nice to sail a boat that is quick and set up a little different to how Animus was. Even if the pole setup did confuse my bow for a moment haha.
Enjoy the photos and remember how lucky we are to be able to go Twilight sailing on Sydney Harbour. If you haven’t done it I recommend you do! It is easy as all you need to do is head down to a Yacht Club on their twilight racing night and put your name down for a sail. MHYC where I sailed last night often have Phil C manning the whiteboard hooking people up with a boat to sail on. Why not head down and give it a try one Thursday night during the Summer Season?
