Report from Rear Commodore

|
|

One of the joys of belonging to RBYC is the friends you make and the opportunities to share adventures at home and abroad. This month finds me sailing in Greece with several Brighton members.

There are many untagged bikes being stored in the carpark area. Bike storage is allocated to senior members that have a boat on the marina or hardstand. There can only be one (1) bike per boat and an annual storage tag must be attached. These tags can be collected from reception. Any bike that DOES NOT have a tag on it by 15th June will be given to charity. If you have a tagged bike you will need to collect your 26-27 tag from 1st July 2026.

Paul Pascoe’s next gig and an excellent result for local sailors
|
|
Following on from his time as Chief Judge at the San Diego Etchells Worlds, Paul Pascoe travelled to the Ningbo International Regatta in Ningbo China. What an event! We were thrilled to hear that a team representing SYC were competing, with the crew including some members and past members of RBYC. The team consisted of Eliza Ewart (skipper) and crew of Kieran East, Josh Griffith and James Hackett.
|
|
With 48 teams sailing J80s from 12 countries, the team came 3rd, missing first place by one point. With 3rd place prize money of $A4,000, it was a successful trip! Paul presented the team with the prize.
|
|
Congratulations to the team on an excellent result!

16th Trivia Challenge a resounding success
|
|
Don Warner hosted another successful night of Trivia last Thursday with 12 teams vying for the honour of having their names engraved on the trophy. This was the 16th running of the event with just two breaks – one due to COVID and last year because Don was fully immersed in completing the club’s150th anniversary book. This year’s participants included experienced stalwarts as well as some new teams, from yachting, swimming and volunteering. Several attendees won random prizes, and the room was buzzing with laughter and song. Congratulations to the winning team, The Early Swimmers who won by an impressive margin.
