Passage races for the majority of the 110 boat fleet yesterday made for some stunning views around the surrounds and offshore from sensational Port Stephens.
This is the tenth year that Sail Port Stephens has been an event on the calendar for Australian sailors, and it is no wonder that it has grown each and every year, especially given the conditions yesterday.
Summer returned for the day, with the sea breeze continuing to build all afternoon bringing competitors home on a speedy run through the rocky heads to finish right off the marina.
I managed to capture the starts for division 1 and 2 in the IRC NSW State Championship in a live broadcast, as well as a bunch of images which you can see below in the gallery.

Stay tuned for a wrap video of this entire event in the coming days!
More adventures from the final day today with thanks to Pantaenius Sail & Motor Yacht Insurance. You can head to my Facebook, or the Sail Port Stephens Facebook Page or website to keep in touch while the racing is happening!
