Yacht Sales Australia Wednesday Series

Wednesday 22nd August was the penultimate race in the Yacht Sales Australia Non-Spinnaker Series 4 and sailed in a cool, fresh southerly.

Tony Levett's TSA Management claimed the Division 1 win from Grace O'Malley and Austmark,
while Charles Caskey and the crew of Perception were the first home in Division 2  ahead of Mortgage Choice Rumba and Twocan.

With the final pointscore opportunity in the series scheduled for next Wednesday,
Stephen Proud's Swish and Jim Vaughan's Another Dilemma have commanding leads in their respective divisions,
but there is a queue of boats lining up for the minor placings.

Skippers & Crew Meet and Greet

Thursday 27th September starting at 7.00pm

Looking for crew for the new season?  Looking for a crew position?  
MHYC has arranged a Meet and Greet evening for sailors looking for a crew position on a MHYC Yacht.  

Skippers seeking crew for the season will be present so potential crew can meet the skippers and ask further questions. 
Skippers looking for crew will address the meeting outlining the program for their yacht this season and give an indication of the
type of crew they are seeking.  The crew can then ask questions of the skipper presenting to make sure they understand what is being sought. 
After the presentations, the skippers and crew can meet one on one over a drink in the bar.

Please email sailing@mhyc.com.au or phone the Sailing Office (9969 1244 Tues-Sat) to advise your intention to attend either of these 2 sessions.
