For those of you who sailed the RYCT Showdown Series, the race format and course length for The Crown Series will be decent and not the mini dodgem courses of previous years. I thought the "Showdown" was a great series.

The Crown Series Bellerive Regatta
provides exciting and competitive yacht
racing for all participants in the sport
combined with a weekend of fun and
frivolity on shore focused around the
Bellerive Yacht Club.
The last weekend of February 2010 will
bring a mass of sail to the Derwent River
taking advantage of the great yacht racing
venue, set against a background of the City
of Hobart under the shadow of Mount
Wellington at a time of the year when sailing
conditions are predicted to be at their best.
The Dinghy and Catamaran classes will
have up to 9 races over two days with Keel
Boat and Trailable Yacht Divisions
participating in up to seven races
commencing with a non-spinnaker
Twilight Race on Friday which sets the tone
for a fun and relaxed weekend.
After the racing each day the Kangaroo
Bay foreshore will come alive with music,
entertainment, games and good food
supported by the City of Clarence Jazz
festival being conducted on the adjacent
Bellerive Boardwalk.
The event provides an opportunity to
participate in an competitive regatta
conducted, with the support of
representatives from all local yacht clubs,
by the most experienced Tasmanian race
officials. Added to this is the opportunity
for crew, families, supporters, volunteers
and friends to relax, fraternise and enjoy a
great weekend.
This year will see up to forty trailable
yachts, mostly from the north of the state,
conducting their State Championships,
bringing a new dimension to the Regatta in
an area of sailing which has not been well
supported in the South in the past.
On shore will see more competition with
Sumo wrestling, which this year will cater
for all sizes of competitors, surfboard
riding and even a jumping castle. The
Marina Room and courtyard will be alive
with music and organised mayhem while
the Regatta Retreat on the Upper Deck
provides a place to relax and enjoy a quiet
drink or meal.
All keelboats competitors are invited to
spend the weekend at the Bellerive Yacht
Club Marina. For competing dinghies the
large parking, rigging and assembly area
adjacent to the launching area has twentyfour
hour security protection.
