Super Saturday sail-ebration was one to remember
Tomorrow we honour the Anzac legend and our selfless service men and women. Today, however, was all about remembering the legacy of Roger Hicko Hickman, Sail Port Stephens mentor and ambassador, with a Super Saturday Sail-ebration involving around 180 boats, great and small.
They were packed five deep off Nelson Bay breakwall, spinnakers radiating in the sunlight if not exactly straining under the late-morning westerly. There were four more starts offshore in the Fingal basin for the NSW IRC Championship and Performance Racing Division 1 thoroughbreds.
All headed seawards for what s traditionally the Broughton Island passage race.
