WHISPER MUG
T
he Whisper Mug has been
a tradition in Pittwater since
1972 when the first race was
organised by Sue and Neville
Fielding in their yacht Whisper.
Since then the race has prospered with
fleets of up to 20 and a reputation for a
highly enjoyable day out on the water and a
social party afterwards.
AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S MATCH RACING
FINAL RESULTS
The breeze at this time of year is normally
excellent, and the race has only ever been
shortened once in its 40 year history! In
a similar vein to twilights and the popular
Portuguese Picnic this is a fun race with
most crews consisting of family and friends.
The major difference is that the course
is long enough for a decent sail and
spinnakers are permitted.
THERE ARE TWO DIVISIONS
• A division for those owners who wish to
sail the traditional rounding of Dangar
Island and home.
• A division for members to enjoy a more
leisurely sail to Juno Point and return.
