• Twilight Race 3 tomorrow night Wednesday 30th Jan. Click here for pursuit start times

• Combined Divisions - Malta Cup (IRC) has no supplementary sailing instructions. Refer to RBYC Sailing Instructions Issued 1 Oct 2005. For courses refer to Part IV Centre Courses in the same Sailing Instructions.
• Dragons are having a special Lady Skippers race. Good idea to check your boat insurance policy now. As noted in the RBYC Sailing Program you are also having a Dragon show day this Sunday???

• Race 4 of the Sunday Pursuit race is on this Sunday starting at 10am. Hope someone other than our volunteers turn up.

CREW NOTICEBOARD

After receiving some valuable feedback from a few of our skippers, we have tightened up on expectations from eager non members wanting to try sailing. From what I am hearing, many skippers seem disappointed after ringing around some of the names appearing on the website and even after taking them aboard for a race or two. We will do our best from the office in sifting through those that can commit to weekly racing and those just wanting a casual sail. But do keep your comments and ideas coming in. We are trying to help you out.
