Craig and Julie Wilmott have brought Fame, 12.8m 1966 Brown Brothers timber trawler, down the coast from Brisbane.
|
|
In some respects Fame has returned to her true home since she spent most of her working life fishing and scalloping in Bass Strait and Port Philip Bay.

New arrival: Amity in B14
|
|
|
|
Amity is a 26 foot Cavalier and has recently come into the marina after a 14 hour journey from Hastings. We waited for quite a few months for delivery, as we needed the right weather window. In the end, it was decided to ‘just go’ when a big high settled over the country.

Photo by Beau Beza aboard Take Five
|
|
Seventeen started out on the race to Geelong with much trepidation... big winds for a little boat - but a sense of adventure won out!
|
Grant Seamer, our Training Manager, and Amanda Rogerson and two of RMYS's training members - Sanne Rodenstein and Alan Connolly made up the crew.

Albert Park College training at RMYS
|
|
|
For the last eight weeks, year 7 & year 8 students from Albert Park College have been visiting RMYS for dinghy sailing classes. The students have been learning both theory and practical sailing skills.
|
Our instructors teach the students how to helm & crew on all points of sail. They’ve been learning tacking, gybing, racing rules, understanding weather & wind, rules of the water and, of course – capsizing!
|
|
They’ve even been sailing in challenging conditions, up to 15 knots! Go, kids!
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are excited to be hosting the Australian Sailing Tackers Inclusion Day this Sunday!
|
The little tackers (sailors 7-12 years old) will be sailing in the pond in the optis. As we progress into summer, we are pleased to see our little ones getting out on the water, enjoying everything wonderful about sailing in St Kilda!
|
