CLUB REMINDERS & NOTICES
|
The General Committee will no longer be accepting any new trailer boat applications for membership as we have reached a saturation point.
|
Unfortunately we cannot accommodate more members with vehicles and trailers as there is a parking issue.
|
We do welcome those persons for the normal membership process if they so choose, without a trailerable boat.
|
|
This is effective 01 February 2020
|
|
Members please note that showers will be closed over weekends between 10h00 and 15h00 due to kids wasting water.
|
As you are aware, water is a precious resource and we just cannot tolerate this kind of behaviour. Please try to assist us in any way you can.
|
We have received numerous complaints of vessels speeding through the anchorage.
|
This is a dangerous practice as people working on their boats could get injured by the wake caused by the speeding vessel.
|
Please note that the entire anchorage is a no wake zone, and that offenders will be subject to disciplinary action being taken against them.
|
|
Lockers have been placed in the cloak rooms for members’ short term daily usage. Please use these lockers with your own lock and ensure lock is removed by the end of the day.

PADDLING/ ROWING
|
|
|
Serious cabin fever got the teams out on Saturday, this time for a much needed maintenance work party.
|
Well attended and organised by Bryne and Estelle, we made steady progress. Painting of blades and sewing of flotation bags was carried over for garage parties and windless days...
|
Thank you for popping in to see us all Julie and Mike Geddes, our dear NSRI rowing friends. We're with you all the way Julie.
|
Good to see father and son, our Johnny B and Nick Bothma working on their newly docked, beautiful Ariette from Hout Bay.
|
Great team work for staying connected!

Mykonos 2020 – Entries are open!
|
On 21 February 2020 we will be starting the 30th edition of the Mykonos Offshore race. This race has been a favourite of many South African sailors for many years. When the south-easter plays ball, the run up the coast to Saldanha is fantastic fun. However the bay race on the Saturday is the jewel in the crown for this regatta. Tina Plattner has labelled it as one of her two most favourite races anywhere in the world and she will be taking part on her TP52, Phoenix.
|
|
The Notice of Race has been published and entries are open. Make sure to get your entry in quickly as moorings at Club Mykonos are on a first-come, first-served basis and the race is sure to have a massive entry.
|
|
Club Mykonos are once more our major sponsor and they have kept accommodation prices at the same level as last year. The restaurants at Club Mykonos have been upgraded and are much more upmarket with a Cape Town Fish Market and Brauhaus, who will be offering specials throughout the regatta. The very popular Louise Day will get everyone on their feet and dancing on Saturday night after prize-giving.
|
|
Let us know how many Mykonos races you have taken part in over the last 30 years? Is there anyone who has sailed in all of them?
