Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club earn themselves the NSW Sailing League Regional Qualifier title and a spot in the NSW Sailing League Final after some heated racing at Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club last weekend.

Top team from the weekend, Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, skippered by Blake Robertson saw themselves needing a consistent day of racing on the final day to see themselves crowned champions of the Regional Qualifier and earn themselves a spot in the NSW Sailing League Final.
