VXOne Nationals - a waiting game
|
|
|
|
Well done to the four RBYC VxOnes who made the trip to Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club for the VxOne Nationals; Victoria’s Other Secret (Jan Talako), Mimi II (Lucas Couper), Bender (Peter Milne) and Crumpet (Peter Jackson). The wild NSW weather was poorly timed, and it was only on day four that racing was possible. Four races were sailed on the last day in blustery conditions – everyone would have slept well afterwards.

Cruising Group members enjoyed last Sunday’s Annual Birthday Cruise to “Royals” at Williamstown. The weather was on our side, and a small flotilla made their way across to the RYCV at Williamstown, with others driving across. This was, in fact, our 35th such event, and we would like to thank RYCV for graciously hosting us once again.The next Cruising Group …
