Word is out about the inaugural Montalto Masters on Western Port regatta, and we are getting attention from the very top of our sport.  We are very pleased to announce that Australian Sailing Board member, Alistair Murray, has gladly accepted our invitation to join us on the Sunday of the regatta, both to congratulate prize winners but also to compete against them!  Thanks very much to member Mark Schapper who is providing Alistair with a Tasar for the day's racing.

Make sure you register for the regatta to join Alistair and other fabulous experienced sailors from all around Western Port and beyond.  The regatta is on October 19 & 20.  Early bird discount available for registrations before September 19.
