Sailing Co Ordinator update

Colin Burgess has been appointed to the sailing coordinator role and will commence at RMYS 6 August. Colin has a significant range and depth of sailing and yacht club experience which will be extremely useful.

Colin currently lives in Mooloolaba Qld, initially he will move to Melbourne and his family will come here later in the year when school finishes. He is looking for some accommodation for a few weeks until he finds something to rent, it would be great if a member(s) can assist. Please contact me if you can.
