Become a RBYC Race Management Volunteer
|
|
|
|
The RBYC Race Management Team are a vibrant group within the Royal Brighton membership who play a vital role in the successful implementation of club racing and regattas. The Sailing programme continues to grow at Brighton, with more additional race series, social sailing activities and high profile National & World championships for our team members to be a part of. There is always tasks to be done and room to join the team. The volunteers are at the heart of the club and without their ongoing enthusiasm and commitment, our program would not continue to excel. Opportunities for growth are important, with RBYC offering a number of training activities to help new team members get up to speed, and continue to upskill those already involved. The current group have a wealth of experience and have been responsible for highly successful regattas on the international stage. They take pride in what they do and love mentoring others that wish to be involved.Any level of experience is welcome, all you need is an interest in being a part of a team, the sport of sailing and how it is conducted.

Around The Bay
|
|
|
|
|
|
This year the Cock of the Bay race will run from Port Melbourne and will finish at Mornington. With already 70 entries into the race, we do expect this year to be a big fleet with interstate crews joining the race before they head off on the 50th Melbourne to Hobart the next day. Please note, entries close on December 16th.
|
|
The shorter distance will allow those not entered in the Hobart race or joining the Petersville regatta to enjoy a great day out on the water to work off those excesses of Christmas and allow time to sail home or to another location (other than BYS) in time for sunset drinks.

ORCV Rip Tour of Port Phillip Heads
|
|
|
|
“The Rip” is the narrow entrance to Port Phillip, where underwater reefs limit the navigable entrance to just 0.6nm and provides a restricted tidal flow between the ocean and Port Phillip, where over 4,000 commercial vessels transit annually. Once a year, the ORCV runs an on-water tour from a large ferry looking at the navigation aids, tides, how to and which channels to use, radio protocols etc for a safe transit of the heads. The tour runs inside the bay but travels around the head's region, and offers not only an educational experience but a great day on the water. A great Christmas gift, learn more and book here https://www.orcv.org.au/training/rip-tour-of-port-phillip-heads
