Set yourself up for Coastal spot next year

[Richmond 2]

If you missed out on a coastal spot this year but are itching to get out on the water, it's not too late to join Richmond's summer Friday Night Series to network with skippers and build skills so you're better positioned for getting a spot in another Coastal Race.

 

See below for the details - we had a great first race last Friday with a lovely evening, 23 boats on the start and a pumping club bar after. We can still take a few more so sign up now to be on board for the next race.

*** Invitation to those looking to get out on the water this summer***

 

Richmond Yacht Club's Victoria Friday Night Special Series

 

We run this series of 8 races over the summer months for adults who would like to experience “a taste of sailing”, or who have experience and are looking to find a place as crew on a boat.

 

Each race you are allocated to a different boat which can range in size from a 22ft to 44ft yacht. These popular events allow newcomers to experience sailing (and its social side) in a friendly and relaxed environment. Victoria's Friday Night Special is a series of fun sailing races around the harbour.

 

It is also a form of networking whereby crew members are encouraged to let skippers know that they are available to crew for any of their other racing throughout the year. After the race, head back to the club for a drink or a meal plus a short seminar on the basics of sailing.

 

First race is 18 October so reserve your spot today!

Cost is $105 for club crew membership for the year plus $90 for the race and seminar series
