Opening Day sustainable costume ideas – Under the Sea
|
|
Many members have been talking about how to make their Opening Day Costumes more sustainable by using what they already have around the house (rather than buying more stuff), Those who frequent a lot of fancy-dress parties may have suitable items they have acquired over the years.. I’m sure many of us have wetsuits, googles, snorkels – and your mop might make a good algae headpiece!
|
|
Looking forward to a great day on and off the water – don’t forget to register!

|
Peter Coleman has had an impressive year in the 2.4mR class, securing top 5 finishes at the Australian Championships and the Victorian Para Championships. His dedication to encouraging new sailors and fostering inclusivity at Royal Brighton Yacht Club makes him a standout in the para sailing community.

|
Peter has a para sailing classification of sailing “B3 vision impaired”. Visually Impaired Sailors are classified by into three groups which are effectively in simple terms: B1: No functional sight. B2: Poor partial sight. B3: No more than 10% functional sight. Along with other para sailors at RBYC, Peter is committed to educating all of us about how para sailing works, and how to support para sailing at the club.

Hansa Vic States at Lysterfield Lake - RBYC members racing and volunteering
RBYC Principal Race Officer Rod McKenna went further afield this past weekend, acting as PRO for the Hansa Vic States at Lysterfield Lake, assisted by Murray Cowdell on RB19. RBYC was represented on the race track as well, by Alison Weatherly in the 303 class, and Peter Coleman and Charlie Weatherly in the Liberty class. What a lovely location – several club members went to watch over the weekend. The photos show Rod presenting Alison with her third place in the 303 class, and Peter in his Liberty on the water.
