HARBOUR RACING

 

 

A racing series for Skis, Outriggers,

Stand-Ups and Sea Kayaks

Based in Sydney’s Harbour Waterways

 

Harbour Racing Inc. has been set up to provide great racing for paddlers in the Harbour areas of New South Wales in Sydney Harbour, to the North and to the South.

We will provide competitive racing for the experienced paddler and good conditions for the less experienced. Each course will be about 16 km, with a short course option, and they will vary from enclosed water to more open harbour conditions.  There will be a mass start for each event.

 

The inaugural series will feature 5 events in about 4 months and each race will cost $30 online registration and $40 for registration on the day.

 

There will be categories for Open, Men 40 to 50, 50 to 60, 60plus, Several Women’s Classes plus under 19 boys and girls. All paddlers have an equal chance at the prizes as they are drawn from the hat! Medals will be awarded at the end of the series for placegetters in each category.

 

The event is supported by PaddleNSW, Blast Paddlers, Northbridge Kayaks, Rose Bay Time Trials and Manly Warringah Kayak Club
