Our annual OTB regatta , Sail Melbourne, is fast approaching. This is a major event in the RBYC calendar attracting over 130 boats from across Australian and the rest of the world. The event recruits the help of a number of other clubs on the bay with 4 courses running each day.
With a large number of courses and boats it requires a team of 100+ volunteers over the 4 days.
One of the major volunteer roles is that of Beach Marshalls. This key role provides help to the competing sailors with launching and retrieving their boats. Its also one of the few opportunities to get up close and personal with the competitor’s and talk to them directly. So we are calling out to our members to see who can help out.
The beach Marshall shift are AM or PM or you can do both.
Regatta Dates: 28th, 29th, 30th Nov and 1 Dec
Times:
AM Shift: 10am – 12pm.
PM Shift: 2pm – 4pm
(these times are approximate.)
Those that sign up for morning and afternoon will provided with a light lunch and after racing refreshments.
