Young sailors from Vaucluse, Abbotsford, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill will join with Drummoyne's juniors to contest the 7 race regatta.
Southern NSW President Robyn Tames says that weekend is broken up into 2 long course races on the Saturday and 5 short sprint races on the Sunday.
Current NSW Champion Paddy Gilbert in Predator will be looking to add the Zone Title to his list of regatta wins this season that also includes winning the Sabot Australia Day Regatta at Lane Cove. Caitlin Tames in How Sweet it Is from Drummoyne Junior SC and It's All Good, Adam Bloomfield from Hunter Hill SC will be trying to stop Paddy's winning run.
