Our thoughts are with the team at New World Victoria Park following yesterday’s devastating fire.
They’ve been a long-time supporter of SSANZ and a key part of our sailing community. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly things can change—and why it’s so important for us to stand behind those who have backed us over the years.
We’re wishing the entire crew at Vic Park all the best as they navigate what comes next. Looking forward to the day we see them back up and running.
