Moonlight Flit: Race 2 of this series is calendared for 11th Feb. Previous races have struggled to get numbers. To date, we have 6 boats entered in the series but not enough committed on the day. As this is a big ask of our volunteers to come down late we need a commitment to race by Tuesday 8th. For the race to go ahead we will need at least 4 boats. If you are a boat that already has Safety Cat 5N and have not yet entered please do so with the below link.

Volunteers needed:
2022 has a very busy program. We need members to help with running races both on the water and in the tower. If you are able to help please contact Colin at boating@rmys.com.au
 
Race Officer Training: For all Current race officers and volunteers who are keen to become Race Officers. We are very light on those that can run on water races. We are looking to grow our team and would like an idea of who might be interested in learning. We have a great opportunity during the 2 short aggregate races to learn from the current team, both on the committee boat and also on the mark boats. Please contact Colin to discuss at boating@rmys.com.au
