This year’s regatta was the biggest ever, and hopefully the best, but don’t just take our word for it – we’d love to hear your thoughts by completing a short survey. It provides valuable insights that really help us to further tweak the event and maintain vital sponsorships. You’ll also go into a draw to win a cool Musto BR2 Offshore sailing jacket, so please feel free to share the link: dnsw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3wb6yOzTJOYvMO2. Please be assured that the results of the survey are completely anonymous and your details (should you provide them) won't be associated with your responses, nor shared. Destination NSW ...
