Although the weather didn't want to play along we decided to go ahead with the plans.

The dive clean-up produced around 15 brave enthusiasts. The total mass of waste collected was 17.1kg. A big thank you to Pisces Divers, Cape Radd and False Bay Underwater Club for attending.

Jeremy Bagshaw, on his yacht Olleana, had some issues with growth on the bottom of the boat but, after four hours of cleaning in the doldrums, he seems to have sorted this out and is making good progress.
|
He is currently in 9th place with only 22,502 Nautical Miles to go while the other South African entrant, Kirsten Neuschafer, is currently in 5th place with only 22,041 Nautical Miles to go.
|
|
They are due to pass the checkpoint in Cape Town in around three weeks time.

The Biggest Sailing event in Africa
|
|
|
This year is South African Sailing (SAS) 75th Anniversary.
|
They would like to celebrate this by trying to get as many boats as possible on the water. FBYC, as one of the host clubs, is planning a sail past the coast to meet up with boats setting off from Gordons Bay Yacht Club.
|
The dates are 16 – 19 December. We’ll choose one of these dates with the best weather.
|
Let’s see how many boats we can get out there. Power, Paddling and Rowing Boats are encouraged to join in.
|
Please watch this space for more information.

Club Dress Code
|
Please adhere to the signs which have been placed in the clubhouse.
|
|
|
Liquor licence
|
The club has an on-consumption liquor licence therefore members and their guests may not bring their own liquor onto the club premises, as this is regarded as an offence in terms of the Liquor Act. We have reviewed the corkage fee facility and it will not be available in the Crow’s Nest Bar upstairs any longer.
|
The facility will still be available when you are ordering from the restaurant downstairs. Arrangements to pay corkage can be set up with Carl when you want to bring your own wines for a function, provided that the wine is not already on the wine list.
