Abell Point Yacht Club (APYC)Β will launch it’s new Friday night twilight calendar from the 18th July renaming it the ‘Abell Point Sunset Series’.
With the cruising season in the Whitsundays in full swing, prime sailing conditions 
will kick start the weekly sunset series which will include a number of great social events and aΒ range ofΒ prizes for keen competitors.Β The first twilight race of the series on the 18th will also follow with a BBQ in the new North Village public area where members will be provided with the freshly brandedΒ APYC burgees and caps.
Members of the APYC are encouraged to bring along friends and fellow yachties to participate in the Sunset Series to enjoy the great sailing conditions and get behind a new eraΒ of the Yacht Club in association with Coral Sea Marina Resort.
TheΒ launch of the social series is also well timed for local and visiting yachties to use the new series as a feeder event for the upcoming Airlie and Hammo Race WeeksΒ toΒ ensure crew and vessel areΒ well tuned for the big events.
Vice Commodore of Abell Point Yacht Club Rupert King said ‘The launch of the new Sunset SeriesΒ is very exciting and is great to see a regular sailing event on the yacht club calendar.Β I am looking forward to seeing some new entrants participating in the series and other on and off water events throughout the year’.
The Abell Point Yacht Club were bolstered by the support of now main sponsor Coral Sea Marina Resort earlier this year, with new owner Paul Darrouzet committing to reviving the club and growing it’s on and off water events in order to build members and create more of a yacht club feel to the marina.
