the time when the race between two most powerful racing yachts of Australia
seems to mark the event of Federation fine.
The recent knife-edged fight between Australia’s two
oldest prominent sailing clubs and their best teams fascinated crowds on the
gleaming waterway and attracted instant offers to confront from Western
Australia and Tasmania.
Iain Murray, the director of the Australian Sailing performance said, “It looks like Sayonara Cup has open a sailing area that people perceived they had stirred on from.”
“We all have looked at the very recent versions of America’s Cup and thinking about foiling and speed, but there is an indisputable admiration of the novel match racing skill used in the previous Sayonara Cup and America’s Cups. The match racing technical skills – principally of gybing and tacking and placement of boats over technology are some skills that are frequently required at the top level and it has been the base of Australian crew saturation on the platform of world sailing.”
Currently, Murray is all optimistic about match racing
future on a national stage.
“The standards of the club, national and state
originated difficulties have a significant place and now the RSYS feels it is
crucial re-establish the Sayonara Cup. This is a preferred pathway for
