TWILIGHT RACE 6 – SPECIAL CALL OUT
Hey folks, the final race of the 2019/2020 twilight series is on the 26th Feb. This is our last chance to break our club record of 49 boats on the water, so I’m asking , no begging, that you will all get involved and see if we can break the 50 boats… what a great site that would be.
SAIL PASS and CREW DECELERATION REMINDER
As a reminder anyone sailing on a RMYS registered vessel must either be a RMYS member or a non member holding a Sail Pass for the particular race. A Sail Pass must be purchased for each race which provides the non member with the correct insurance cover for the race. All crew must be listed on the vessels online crew deceleration prior to the race start start with all details correct and up to date. Failure to do so will bring point 4.9 of SI’s into action.
FLINDERS CUP CRUISE:
The annual ‘Flinders Cup’ Cruise event is coming up this Labour Day weekend, 7, 8 9 March, 2020.
