Zhik Australian eSailing National Challenge /
SBSC eSailing Club Championship INVITATION RACE #2
Sailors from SBSC are invited to compete on the Virtual Regatta platform in the new Zhik Australian eSailing National Challenge, organised by Australian Sailing.
Governed by the World Sailing Virtual Rules of Sailing, the Zhik Australian eSailing National Challgenge closely matches the real-world rules and formats that govern on-the-water racing.
The in-game ‘Sailing School’ provides a clear explanation of the sport and a new and effective learning tool to familiarise players with the strategies, tactics and terminology of sailing.
SBSC would like to thank our Australian Sailing and partners at Zhik for their support of the Australian eSailing National Challenge and for their ongoing support of sailing in Australia.
