Sydney City Marine Jeanneau Rendezvous 2013:

This years Rendezvous took place on Sydney Harbour with nearly 40 yachts taking part and the festivities after the days sailing taking place at Northbridge Sailing Club. With three divisions, two for those that are for the more competitive minded and then a cruising division, the weather God’s were smiling with beautiful sailing conditions -Sunny skies & light Breeze (other than a quick downpour at 5pm the day was perfect) a great days sailing was had on the harbour with several crews wearing full crew uniforms and looking very smart. Followed by most of the fleet anchoring/ rafting up in Middle Harbour for the Friday & Saturday evening. A wide range of models were represented from a 1990 Sun Light 31 to the 2010 Model flagship Jeanneau 57 and everything in between.
