Twilight Series
Twilight races are held during Daylight Savings on Kogarah Bay and Georges River over various courses and they are very popular. Although regarded as 'Social Racing' they can become very competitive. All starts and finishes are in front of the Club providing ample opportunity for comment from the 'armchair' sailors ashore as well as a spectacular view.
Racing starts at 1800 (6pm) October and March, then 1830 (6.30pm) for November to late February.
