MHYC’s 2020-2021 Sailing Program has been released to provide advance notice to members prior to publication of the MHYC Sailing Handbook 2020-2021 which should be available in early September. Since the program was finalised however, there have been a number of changes and these have been published in Notice to Competitors 2020-08-19-2.
The Overall Season Schedule can be downloaded as a simple PDF list of events in date order (4 pages) or as an Excel spreadsheet that can be filtered to display selected events or series. Schedules and Sailing Instructions for each of the MHYC Series can also be downloaded as PDFs – click here
The most significant change from the 2019-2020 program is that eight races of the Inshore and Adams 10 Pointscore will be conducted in conjunction with the Combine Clubs Inshore Series. This series, organised jointly by Manly Yacht Club (MYC), Middle Harbour Yacht Club (MHYC), Royal Australian Naval Sailing Association (RANSA), Royal Prince Edward Yacht Club (RPEYC) and Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron (RSYS), provides an interclub competition over six race days between September and March. Two of the race days will feature two short passage races, while the remaining 4 days will have a single, longer passage race. The starting and finishing area is between Sow & Pigs Reef and Taylors Bay.
The Women's Sailing Program has also been enhanced with the creation of the Sydney Harbour Women’s Keelboat Series, jointly conducted by Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA), Manly Yacht Club (MYC), Middle Harbour Yacht Club (MHYC), Royal Prince Edward Yacht Club (RPEYC) and Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron (RSYS).

The Pacific Rigging Wednesday Non-Spinnaker Series will have three divisions to allow for the wide range of boats and performance across this popular fleet. Courses for this 51 race program have been updated accordingly.
Courses have also been updated for the Thursday Twilight Non-Spinnaker Series with an option for finishing races at Grotto Point on days with reduced wind. Divisions 1 & 2 will now sail separate courses and all courses have been re-ordered.
Crew Registration will remain mandatory for all series throughout the 2020-2021 season - click here
