NSC/MHYC Opti Race Team Take on NSW Opti States ⛵️

Last weekend, our combined NSC/MHYC Optimist team competed at RPAYC in the NSW State Championships, joining a huge fleet of 140 sailors from across the state.
Light and tricky conditions made for a challenging regatta, with Day 1 racing cancelled, but that didn’t stop the fun, as sailors made the most of it (and made sure no one stayed dry 😄).
Day 2 brought shifty, unstable winds that tested everyone’s skills. Despite the tough conditions, our sailors delivered an outstanding performance, with most finishing in the top half of the fleet!
👏 Highlights:
•⁠ ⁠Max – 9th overall
•⁠ ⁠Owen – 17th
•⁠ ⁠Brayden – 18th
•⁠ ⁠Fletcher – 24th
A fantastic effort from the whole team—well sailed everyone!

Last weekend, three talented NSC Green Fleet sailors, 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗼 and 𝗛𝗮𝗻, attended their first regatta in the Bush Capital at the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗔𝗖𝗧 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽.
Despite light winds delaying races on both Saturday and Sunday, the event was a fantastic, fun and friendly introduction to a major contest for our young, first-time regatta goers.
While Green Fleet race results aren’t officially recorded, there was much cheering on the shoreline from thrilled NSC supporters after Will won three of the six races and came third in another. Younger brother, Jono, also placed third in one race, while Han secured third and fourth places in two races.
Congratulations Will, Jono and Han! We’re so proud of all you achieved.
A 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 to NSW International Optimist Dinghy Association and Canberra Yacht Club for organising a fabulously fun first regatta for our three awesome Green Fleet sailors. They’ll be back for more!

ACT Optimist State Champs wrap! ⛵️🎉

Last weekend our Opti fleet headed to Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, for the ACT State Championships — our biggest regatta turnout in years! NSC had 7 sailors in the Intermediate fleet and 3 in Green.

With the breeze on a coffee break most of the weekend, racing was limited — but spirits definitely weren’t. The kids loved a Hobie Cat paddling race, watersports, a taste of foiling, and (best of all) making new friends from clubs across the region. 💙

When the flags finally dropped:
• Green Fleet: Will, Jono and Han were right up near the front of the pack.
• Intermediates: Brayden 6th, Fletcher 11th, Xavier 14th, Max 15th, Oscar 18th, Arthur 23rd, Thomas 42nd — awesome effort, team!

Huge congrats to all our sailors for representing NSC so proudly, and a big thank you to the parents for the shore support and good vibes all weekend. We’re excited for more regattas and faster, breezier days ahead!

On the 20th and 21st of September, Matilda, Avery and Hannah attended Opti Chicks at Hunters Hill Sailing Club.

Avery shared: “I had a great time, especially when we got to hear from the Olympian and the 25-time Sydney to Hobart race participant. We got so much insight and advice, and learnt about their experiences and how they came to enjoy sailing.”

Matilda added: “I really enjoyed the supportive environment and how we got to sail new boats we had never seen before.”

Together with Hannah, they also competed in the regatta at the end. The team sailed brilliantly, with Matilda proud to captain the crew that placed second!

At Northbridge sailing club, we are very proud of these young and very talented Opti Chicks — such grit, enthusiasm and team spirit on display. Well done girls, we can’t wait to see what you do next!

🌊 What a Day at Northbridge Sailing Club! 🌊

A huge thank you to our 36 amazing volunteers 🙌💙

From parking to the welcome desk, briefing, gearing up, and sailing – your warmth, energy, and big smiles made families feel so welcome.

✨ We welcomed 217 visitors who came down to try sailing, many for the very first time!

It was fantastic to see kids, parents, and friends discovering the joy of being out on the water — feeling the wind in their sails. A perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday and to discover sailing right here in Northbridge.
