My Favorite race down here in OZ would be without question.... Sail Melboure Olympic Class Regatta, Sandrigham Yacth Club on Port Phillip Bay.

It brings the best Tornado sailors from around Australia together as well as a few internationals. Port Phillip always serves up, atlest for a few days, some hair raising coditions with short sharp chop up to 2.5 meters and 25 knot plus winds. Their is always some carnage and plenty of spectacular rides whilst lauching over waves.

On shore the regatta is very we run and the regatta always attracts the top crews from all the Olympic Classes. The National coaches also are present on and off the course and are more than willing to give some training.

There is a chandlery at the club and many sail makers very close by.

After a tough days sailing you cannot go past a massage back on shore, then head up stairs and have a beverage and finger food, overlooking the boat park and the beatifull Bay whilst chatting with the some off the best sailors from around the world .
