Sunday marked the start of the 2024 LGT Crestone Winter Series, with 76 yachts entered across 8 divisions it was an incredible day out on the Harbour. With the sun shining bright and a gentle 12-15 nor’easter, Summer had made a short return to Sydney.

Included amongst the 76 entrants was the Sydney 38 Class where 8 competing yachts fought hard to place well in their own race division – Results can be found below.

Overall competitors enjoyed close racing throughout the day and afterwards returned to the Club for food and drinks. Congratulations to all pricegetters, with a long Winter Series ahead constistency will be key. We hope to see you all on the starting line again next week.
