MHYC Squads For the Summer

Due to the Lack of numbers there will be no Squad training for the Optimists Race Squad on Sunday and Wednesdays this term. The Friday sessions with Rob Brewer will still continue and Development Squad will still be going ahead with training and racing. We apologies if this creates and problems.

If you have any questions or issue please contact Locky via email at: juniorsailing@mhyc.com.au

FRIDAY SQUAD MEMBERS

NO TRAINING THIS FRIDAY DUE TO ACT SPRINT REGATTA!!

Training will resume on the following friday with Rob.

Racing has also changed to an earlier time slot. Racing will now start at 1330. This si to make sure that we get the right sailing area and to stagger the starts between MH16's, MHASC and ourselves. 

For all parents helping out on the day please make sure you arrive no later than 1300. This is so we can tee everyone up with the right jobs.
