SAILING NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS

|
Clipper race – Ryan Gibson continues to do very well in the race. He is in first place overall and our FBYC members continue to follow and support him.
The next race starts at 15h00 UTC in Newcastle, Australia and finishes in Whitsundays, Australia.

|
It’s coming up to that time of year again when the ORC Certificates have to be renewed. An email has been sent out to all those that have a current certificate to confirm if you want to continue. I have received many replies but there are still a few outstanding. Please note that the club will pay half the fee on condition that you race in a minimum of six races a year. Please be advised that if you require any re-measuring, that there is a cost for this that must be paid to the measurer, and you should arrange this with one of the official ORC measurers.
|
|
For those wanting to join in the racing and do not have an ORC Certificate, you can contact an ORC Measurer (names available on the SA ORC webpage) to get your boat measured. There is a cost for the measuring, but your first ORC Certificate is free of charge.
|
Billy Liesegang is stepping down as our local FBYC ORC measurer.

|
Racing Marks – Our new racing marks, together with the new lights should be in place for the first race of 2024.

To ensure that everyone has a fair opportunity to enjoy our communal braai area, we kindly request all members to make a courtesy booking in advance. This helps us manage the space efficiently and ensures a pleasant experience for everyone. Booking can be done through the admin office, if you would like to book for a party of up to 20 persons.
Please be mindful of your fellow members.
