Disposal of Hazardous Materials
|
|
|
Unfortunately, RMYS cannot dispose of hazardous materials, including flares, fire extinguishers, waste chemicals and liquids, oil and fuel, and empty gas bottles.
|
A number of these items have recently been dumped in the bin area of the yard, creating a dangerous situation for members and the facilities.
|
Please dispose of such waste properly, and do not leave them around the Club to become someone else’s problem.

Junior Update: Lady Stonehaven & a thank you to volunteers
|
|
|
Junior Squad Racing was cancelled again due to strong weather warnings and a NE blowing off point Ormond that was above 23 knots, which is our cut-off point for safety reasons.
|
That being said, the wind further North wasn’t so strong, so we ran two internal races, and they made for some fantastic racing. Great sailing by all.
