All races will be governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing, the Australian Sailing Special Regulations 2017 – 2020 and the rules of the classes concerned (except as any of these are altered by the Sailing Instructions 2019 – 2020 Season).

Copies of the Red Book are available from the Club office and online at www.rpyc.com.au

RESULTSWe know the best part of the day is catching up with friends, fellow sailors and crew and talking about the day out on the water.

We’ve listened to your feedback and this year instead of announcing results, we’ll be placing them at various points around the Club for you to view.

So check them out and then get back to making the most of enjoying each other’s company, having a few drinks and a great feed.

CALLING ALL NON COMPETING YACHTS AND POWER YACHTIES – DRESS YOUR BOAT AND JOIN THE SAILPASTWe have responded to your feedback and are re-introducing a Sailpast this year. Join the fun, dress your boat with bunting and be prepared to demonstrate your boat handling skills.

Boats are asked to assemble between Crawley Buoy (Adjacent to the swing moorings in Matilda Bay) and A Jetty at 3:30pm. Club boats will lead the flotilla in the general direction of the western end of F Jetty. Please ensure you follow the boats close astern.

DRESSING OF THE SHIP – BEST DRESSED COMPETITIONWhy not get in the spirit of Opening Day and dress up your Sail or Power Boat with flags or bunting to add colour and spirit to the day! There’s a prize for the Best Dressed Ship.

PARTY ON INTO THE EVENINGThere’s nothing better than heading into the warmth of the Wardroom after a day out on the water.
