SAILING MATTERS
by the Rear Commodore, Gregg Dobson

Trio Regatta
This event finishes tomorrow (Wednesday) with prize giving on the RNYC Lawns. The Garmin Duck we have the use of has been well received and used to its fullest capacity. Derek Wilkes and Speedy (Graham Rose) looked like old hands aboard. While entries were not what was expected, our RNYC Youth Team on B2G2 is leading the IRC Provincial Championships with Rob Samways on Cabriole hot on their Transom.
The Flying Fifteens are being led by Patrick Harris and Jeremy Kriek with Gregg Hurter and Andrew Tarboton second. With two more races there is still lots to fight for.

NEXT KEELBOAT RACE - Sunday 27 June
The next keelboat race is the race to Cooper Light and back. This is always a good race with different scenery as it heads down the coast unlike all our other races which head up the coast. Make a plan to ready your crew and be on the start line.

MSC REGATTA 5 - 9 July
This major Durban event starts on Monday 5 July and finishes on Friday 9 July. Let's see a big RNYC entry on the water. And don't forget to enter early.

CREW SERVICE
Struan Campbell has created a crew mix and match group on facebook for skippers who need crew and crew who need boats. It is open to anyone so if you need a person or a boat then put a wall post up advertising yourself. Hopefully we can start building fleets by making it easy for skippers and crew to connect. Put videos, photos - whatever you want - up there for all to see.

Let's enjoy our sport safely! See you on the water.
