The Fenn Cup 2012 event will take place on Saturday 14th January 2012 and is the 4th event of the AORS – Australian Ocean Racing Series.

This season we have decided to run only one event due to the large number of events on the racing calendar.

As per previous years there are 2 courses for competitors to choose from. The longer Fenn Cup 16km and the shorter Coastal Dash 7km race. We will endeavour to make all events downwind with an afternoon start.Competitors will be informed of the direction and starting point the morning of the event.

Event registration and presentations will take place at Collaroy SLSC. Click on the ‘Entry Information’ tab for full details.

The event is open to every type of paddle craft including ocean racing skis, SLSA surf skis, doubles, paddleboards, OC1s, OC2, SUP’s, Sea Kayaks and plastic craft.

Fenn Cup 16km Course

The Fenn Cup is designed to give the ocean paddler the ultimate downwind race. The course plans to run North from Fishermans Beach to Palm Beach in South Winds and South from Palm Beach to Collaroy Beach in North winds. Start is expected to be 2pm but may be delayed up to 1 hour to catch an afternoon sea breeze.

Coastal Dash 7 km Course

The Coastal Dash will feature a range of paddle craft. This event is designed to give the SUPs and paddleboards a solid hour long race for the front runners while providing intermediate ski and outrigger paddlers with a competitive shorter downwind course. This race will always start at Mona Vale Basin approximately 2.20pm, 20 minutes after the Fenn Cup starts. In south winds the race will finish at Palm Beach, in North winds the race will finish at Collaroy Beach. Note In the case of big surf this course may be moved to Fishermans Beach.
