The annual Christmas Hardstand Party will be held on Saturday the 13th of December. Come along and celebrate the year with friends and sailing colleagues. BYO food and drinks, cook up a feast on the BBQ. Here’s hoping the weather gods are smiling, and we can enjoy the hardstand, but in case of inclement weather, we will make alternative arrangements (as we have the past 2 years, when we have celebrated in the Jock Sturrock Centre.)
Kicking off the 2026 program will be the annual Birthday Cruise to Royals on Sunday 18th January.
Our first Guest Speaker Dinner for 2026 will be on Friday 20th February, when we are delighted to have Rob Hurrell presenting on his experiences participating in the recently concluded 2025 Sail2Indonesia Rally on Aquacadabra . A number of RBYC Cruising Group members joined Rob for various stages of the rally, so this promises to be a fascinating and entertaining evening.
Over the last week of February and 1st week of March we are planning an “Explore the Bay” Port Phillip Cruise. An “expressions of interest” meeting will be held in late January.
