What made today’s racing really special was the rain increased just on start sequence, blinding the fleet as they battled to focus on maintaining their race strategies whilst tempest raged around them......
Drama unfolded quite soon after the fleet started the first reach, with the Sydney Ferry Narrabeen not taking the usual diversion seaward of the fleet.....

Flying Eleven Association of Australia Incorporated
The Flying Eleven is designed as high performance racing skiff suitable for 12 to 18 year olds. It is an excellent a follow-on boat for Sabots, Manly Juniors & other junior classes. The Flying 11 class is very strong around Australia, with National regattas attracting fleets of over 100 boats. In the last few years alone, over 100 new boats have been launched - a statistic unmatched by most other dinghy classes. Perth's Nedlands Yacht Club will play host to next F11 National Titles scheduled to be held in January 2007 and㻟 boats competed on Lake Macquarie at the 2006 Championship. High performance sailing is fast becoming the goal of a great many dinghy sailors with the appearance of 49ers as an Olympic class. The Flying Eleven is a logical step in the transition between junior classes and prepares young sailors for classes such as Cherubs, 420s, 470s, 29ers, Moths, 13s or even 49ers.
