Open fleet at RPAYC and the Cronulla Sailing Club, Saturday 25th October. 4.30 to 5.30 pm

Sailors and interested parties alike are invited by the new Sydney 32 owners at RPAYC and Cronulla Sailing Club to come down and view their  new Sydney 32’s and meet the new owners.

With 17 Sydney 32’s now on the water or on order, the Class is offering sailors, an opportunity to enjoy great racing and a lot of social cruising and class fun. Twilight sailing, club and regatta racing as well as cruising events are all planned for the building fleets in this rapidly growing class.

The last two months has seen a run of 32’s launched and they've been producing big smiles from the new owners. David Bonallo’s new Rollercoaster started life with an impressive IRC win at RPAYC just hours old and the most recent addition to the fleet is Chris Bran’s new Sydney 32 which will sail at Sydney Harbour and Cronulla.

Chris, previously from J24’s sees the Sydney 32 as an exciting step up and a boat that will offer a lot of options and go in the many directions his sailing may lead him.

With a teenage family Chris is keen to cruise and sail the boats with his daughters and wife and on Saturdays will develop into club racing.

’I have had calls from crew I have not heard from in 10 years’ joked Chris as the interest the Sydney 32 is making with his peers and friends. It looks like there will be shortage of crew when I get to the club’

Chris is looking forward to the summer ahead and also developing his skills at the One Design events that will see many newer owners enjoying friendly competition with other owners of similar skill and crews. Chris’ new boat will be christened after racing on Saturday at Cronulla.
