Thank you to the following boats for giving up their time on Sunday to allow our youth sailors the opportunity to experience keelboat sailing. Cyan Moon, Sakima, Reliance, Schuss, Moana, Its A privilege, Reverie, Caledonia and She's Apples II. We will be holding this event again at the end of March 2025 so we hope even more boats can get involved so more youth can go out.

Commodore visit to WA Yacht Clubs
|
While in Freo as part of the measurement team for the 2024 Etchells Worlds, Commodore Niesje Hees had the pleasure of visiting the three yacht clubs jointly hosting the event; Fremantle Sailing Club, Royal Freshwater Bay Sailing Club and Royal Perth Yacht Club. No need to exchange burgees as that had already been done years ago. The photo shows Niesje with RPYC Commodore Dr Janet Hornbuckle, under the RBYC burgee at Royal Perth Yacht Club.

On the field: there were no close games this week, which was disappointing. The closest one was the Collingwood vs. St Kilda game on Thursday night - the Saints controlled this game after halftime and with two early fourth-quarter goals, the Sainters were never going to be headed. Season 2024 is not the worst start to a premiership defense for …
