The preliminary Notice of Race (PNOR) for the 2012 Heaven Can Wait charity yacht race has been released. Please click here to view it. The event is again planned to be held on Lake Macquarie, on September 29-30, 2012 -- the New South Wales Labour Day Long Weekend.
There is good news about the Swansea Channel situation. The channel has been dredged over the summer of 2011-2012, with minimum depths throughout currently around 2.5-3 m, and we are hopeful it will remain so during the rest of the year. In addition, the NSW government and the Boat Owners Association are working on a long-term solution to the channel issue. You can read more about this here.
The organisers of the 2012 Heaven Can Wait Regatta are delighted to announce formal sponsorship by apparel supplier Grotty Yachty, which will include special offers and free gifts for all participating crews, along with assistance in raising funds.
Please watch our News section for more details on these and other developments.
The organising authority of the fifth Heaven Can Wait 24 Hour Yacht Race and One Lap Dash is the Heaven Can Wait Yacht Club. The Venue is the Toronto Royal Motor Yacht Club Toronto.
The Heaven Can Wait 24 hour race was conceived and promoted by Lake Macquarie resident, keen sailor and cancer survivor Shaun Lewicki as a major annual sailing event on the lake, to promote sailing, the Lake Macquarie/Newcastle/Hunter region – and to raise funds for cancer research.
Once entries are set up (in the next couple of months), you'll be able to support any boat competing in the 2012 Heaven Can Wait charity yacht race, raising funds for men's cancer research and support. All funds raised are donated to the Cancer Council NSW, along with up to $5000 going to Marine Rescue NSW.
Don't forget, as well as the on-water race, there's a virtual fundraising race as well -- and you will be able to help your chosen boat and crew get to the front of the fleet!
In 2012, we raised over $35,000 for men's cancer research and support programs. We aim to beat that target this year -- and help beat the scourge of cancer!
