2010 – ASX Thomson Reuters Charity Regatta

Under clear skies and a brisk 25 knot S/W wind over 400 guest sailors on 34 yachts enjoyed a fast and exciting race around the buoys on Sydney Harbour on Friday 22 October 2010. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and the 130 spectators had a fantastic view of the race as they tucked into a seafood buffet washed down with Wild Oats wines on board the Captain Cook III.

 

The Financial Markets Charity Cup went to BG Capital Partners on board the lovely Frers 61 – Margaret Rintoul V.

The after party got into full swing at Middle Harbour Yacht club to the music of Jelly Bean Jam. The auction and raffle were popular and helped raise $86,000 for 24 Children’s and Medical research charities. This will be added to the $1.25 million we are targeting to raise from the annual golf day and gala dinner in February 2011.

 

A special thank you to all the kind owners who donated their yachts for the event and sincere thanks to all our fantastic sponsors.
