Sailing Day, Moss Vale March 2006 Photo Gallery

  A beautiful Autumn day greeted us at the Southern Highlands Winery at Moss Vale.   Several new vessels made their debut at this run.    Also the Club trailer made it's first full run for the day.   We where able to set up the trailer, marquee, table and kettle and we where eating sausage sandwiches and drinking steaming hot coffee within 15 minutes of arriving (late unfortunately due to a blow out along the way).  Anyway, a great day with some new ships to show off.    Most indulged after the run with a lovely cappuccino and cake at the SHW cafe.
