MHYC Squads For the Summer

Development Squad has been split into two groups due to the size of the class. This will enable that the different abilities and levels will all be catered for to make a speedy progression to the race squad the squad will train and race at the same time and will be fluid. therefore any sailors that improve and can move up into the higher classes or race squad can.

Both Squads will be starting at 10:00 for a 10:30 start. They will aim to race each afternoon or at least do a training session if the weather doesn't permit.

The squads will be split on Sunday with their relevant coaches.

For more information please email Locky at: juniorsailing@mhyc.com.au

FRIDAY SQUAD MEMBERS

Training is back on this Friday with Rob Brewer this Friday please make sure you can get there on time. From all reports the squad has been improving a lot and getting some great training in.

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.
