The boat is suitable for a crew of 2 and a combined weight of between 120kg and 180kg for competitive racing.
The boat has a generous spinnaker and a single trapeze.The National E is sailed in five states in Australia with National Titles held every Christmas.
Each state holds their own State Titles as well as club sailing most weekends!
Jack Holt Regatta 2012
Hi all sailors,
Last year we discovered the Jack Holt Regatta held annually at Lake Cootharaba in Queensland. Two Melbourne E sailors traveled north and reported that it was fantastic.
Those of you who can get away on the first weekend in May should make this trip. Rumour has it that a couple of Melbourne boats are returning and maybe a Sydney contingent will be there too.
Not only does it promise to be a great weekend’s sailing but it is very likely the National Titles will be held there this year. So this is a chance to suss out the waters and the accommodation.
