Interest is gathering from various club members in taking these sportboats out for a race from time to time. Nicky Bethwaite will give you an orientation so that you have complete confidence in the rigging, launching and retrieval process, and will also (for the price of a glass of wine!) make up the numbers if you're short of crew. Just give her a call (0414 901 309) or send an email to nickyb@mhyc.com.au with a brief resume of your sailing background and that's all it takes to get out on the harbour and enjoy the summer weather.
