****Notice for the owners of kayaks, paddle boards and surf skis****
|
|
There are still a number of owners of kayaks, paddle boards and surf ski owners that need to come forward and let us know what property is theirs so that they can be issued a tag. Kayaks etc without tags will be getting moved in the coming weeks so those who do not claim their equipment will no longer have easy access. Please contact the Sailing Office to confirm if this applies to you.

Final Wrap Up
Tipping: congratulations to John Naughton who is our RBYC tipping champion for season 2022. John really stamped his authority on our competition in the last few weeks of the season to pull away from the pack - he tipped a perfect score in each of the final two rounds to finish 3 points in front of Roy Boys 12, with perennial top tipster Sean Hogan claiming 3rd spot on the margin rule over Rockinghorseroad, LamboM73 and Thrice Winner Hullsy. Well done to all of you on your terrific tipping this year. John wins a $100.00 dining voucher at the club, while a bottle of wine was awarded to Roy Boys and Sean.
|
|
John Naughton 149 total tips (including 9 in the final round)
|
Weekly tipping winner in Round 23: congrats to GPD49er, Pauline Dallimore and John Naughton who all tipped 9 winners. Great job! GPD49er (Ken Foss) wins a $20.00 dining credit by virtue of being closest on the margin game.
