Sailing Results:
Wednesday 24/01/2018:Summer Twilight Series – Race 5 of 10
Wednesday 24 January turned out to be a great evening with near perfect wind and a great course. There were reports of wind gusts of 30knots out by Phoenix but that didn’t seem to bother our sailors too much, and exciting gybe mark rounding at No.4 bouy. We had 9 boats entered with 7 finishing. Would love to see a few more boats out racing this week. 1st Pure Magic, 2nd Snowgoose, 3rd Jabulani.

A reminder to boat owners that in terms of the FBYC By- Laws, all vessels must be in possession of a valid COF, irrespective of length. The club is busy with an audit of the COF register and boats without a valid COF as at the end of April 2018 may be confined to moorings. Survey forms are available from club website:
Sailing: SAMSA SAIL REGULATIONS
Power: SAMSA POWER REGULATIONS
and the club front office.
Certificate of Fitness
All vessels launching, moored or proceeding to sea from the club facilities shall be in possession of a current CoF
Certificates must be lodged with the Club Reception Office, which will issue a corresponding CoF disc, stating the name or registration number of the vessel and the date of expiry of the current CoF.
This disc must be visibly displayed on the starboard side of the vessel.
General Safety and Pollution Control
No vessel shall launch from a club slipway, moor in a marina or on a swing mooring or proceed to sea unless the skipper and vessel are suitably certificated and insured.
All skippers must sign out their vessels on the form provided at the security gate and sign them back in again on return.
See you on the water!
