We would like to again thank our sponsors Harken, and officially welcome Vaikobi. The sailors really enjoyed their prizes provided by them for the Bubble Cup. We look forward to working with Harken and Vaikobi on more events throughout the season!

RPAYC would like to recognise the fantastic effort from Isabella Holdsworth, Darcy Robbins, and Bayley Taylor for assisting with the Tackers school holiday camps as part of their Assistant Instructors qualifications. We very much appreciate their hours spent volunteering throughout their own school holidays. They brought a great vibe to the activities with the kids, and we look forward to having them back to assist with Tackers later in the year and beyond!

Following on from our first successful race cruise, the second event is on 24 October with the coveted Sundowners Trophy up for grabs.
We will race to a finish line at Challenger Head followed by an overnight stay at Hallets Beach. To enter you will need to fill in a simple "One Minute Form" which can be found here, along with details of the race.

Our next First Friday dinner is Friday 6th November and the topic is weather patterns and weather routing with Angus Gordon.
