Sailing and Development Information Evening
Tuesday 13^th December

The Sailing Development Program is a new sailing program which will allow RGYC to host keelboat & adult learn to sail courses, youth & high performance coaching, match racing, teams racing, corporate & community sailing experiences, and world-class one-design regattas. Based on similar programs at clubs such as the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club & Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, these programs are highly successful and sought after amongst sailors.

Members are invited to an information session, to be held at the club on Tuesday 13^th December at 6:00 pm, to learn more about the proposed programs.
