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.
