Albury Wodonga Yacht Club is heartbroken to announce the postponement of Sail Country 2022 (29 - 30 October).
Water NSW has declared a red alert for blue green algae across the whole of Lake Hume, advising that extreme care should be exercised, and contact with water should be avoided. It is not possible to predict how long the algae will remain at high levels. AWYC made the difficult decision to postpone Sail Country to ensure the wellbeing of all sailors, support crews and volunteers and to comply with advice from health and water authorities responsible for the management of Lake Hume. If you entered Sail Country 2022 please check your email for instructions about refunds. AWYC is investigating potential dates for Sail Country 2022 that do not conflict with other regattas and volunteer availability. We will keep you posted.
