We hope this Australian update finds all fellow MUSTO sailors around the world safe and well. Since the last update in June, the COVID-19 outlook has been more optimistic for much of Australia, except for those in the state of Victoria, where unfortunately high-level restrictions are still in place.
With the start of a new season coming up and the lockdown situation easing in many states, the Australian class is doing what they can to train safely and stay active in their boats. This includes an optimistic outlook for the Australian Nationals, currently scheduled for late December at Black Rock Yacht Club in Melbourne.

With a prediction of sunny 20 knot sea breezes, the fleet set off in anxious haste having been sternly informed by our PRO that no late starters would be tolerated. We were greeted by a 10-12 knot north easterly sea breeze predicted to increase.

The Victorian 2018 MUSTO Skiff State Titles were scheduled for March, but due to bad weather were rescheduled to the 24th and 25th of November. Murphy, however, struck again and as the fleet headed down to PMYC the forecast was again unfavourable with 20-25 knot winds and big seas.
