AMTA and its members invite you to participate in the 2008 Telco Charity Sailing Challenge on Sydney Harbour on November 27, 2008.

Alicia Beachley, from the organizers, Aprilfive, said preparation is underway and this year we aim to raise awareness and funds for two prominent charities in support of our youth, namely The Alannah and Madeline Foundation and The Salvation Army's Oasis Youth Support Network.

To help achieve our fundraising goals and raise the profile of our event, we are excited to announce that we have confirmed John Bertrand's participation in the challenge.

Our race is being managed and conducted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) at Rushcutters Bay and our aim is to have 50 boats racing a scratch start; all sponsored by major telecommunications companies and their business partners. For an event registration form click here to download or further information please contact the CYCA Sailing Office on 8292 7870.

We ask you to assist us by providing your yacht and crew for our worthy cause. In addition to helping two charities in need, you will be involved in a great sailing challenge and some fun at the post race celebrations back on the CYCA deck. What better excuse do you need to be on our spectacular Sydney Harbour?
