ATTENTION ALL YACHT SAILORS:

Just a quick reminder that Race 2 of the SLMASC / MPASC interclub series is on this SATURDAY 13 December at MPASC. This race also forms race 2 of the SLMASC Karl Schneider Series, with SLMASC boats also racing for this prestigious trophy over the 4 race interclub series (SLMASC results are extracted from the interclub race and rescored separately using normal club TCF’s). As a result the interclub races have even more interest and significance this year with a race within a race, so there’s a double reason to get out on the water this Saturday!

With Team SLMASC having come out on top in race 1, with 3 races yet to be sailed we need to ensure a strong turnout for the Blue and Yellow in Race 2 to consolidate our early lead if we are to work towards reclaiming the Interclub trophy (and bragging rights) won by MPASC last year.

Boats racing this Saturday will need to ensure they have a copy of the current MPASC Sailing Instructions and courses (see link below or MPASC website) and also confirm your starting division (1 or 2) beforehand as per the Interclub Division Boat Listing on the yacht page of the club website (www.slmasc.org).

Please check your sailing instructions for starting proceedures and times …… but in summary, the start will be from the clock on top of the MPASC clubhouse, which will start counting down from 60 minutes at approximately 1.15pm.

• Division 2 will start at the drop (removal) of 10 minutes from the clock (i.e. when number 9 appears).
• Division 1 will start at the drop (removal) of 0 minutes on the clock.

FYI …. The club has a new stock of SLMASC club burgee’s available for just $5 each (kindly made by Bob Foster Industries ….. Thanks Bob ;-). We especially encourage all SLMASC boats racing in the interclub series, and also those thinking of joining the club cruise in late January, to grab a club burgee and fly it regularly with pride. If you want a burgee for Saturday’s race you can call into the club on Friday evening before/after the race and see Diana.

We look forward to seeing you as part of Team SLMASC this Saturday.

Smooth (and FAST) Sailing to all,

Team SLMASC

PS: Note that due to the interclub race on Saturday there will be no yacht race at SLMASC this Sunday.

YACHT SPRING POINTSCORE PRESENTATION AND BBQ THIS SATURDAY FROM 6.00PM

ATTENTION ALL YACHT SAILORS:

Just a reminder that the SLMASC Yacht Spring Point Score Presentation and BBQ will be held at the club this Saturday 29^th November from 6pm. The club BBQ will fire up around 6.30pm (cook your own) with the presentation to race winners from the Spring point scores (Twilight and Sunday racing) to follow after dinner. The BBQ is BYO / cook your own with plates and cutlery available from the club kitchen, and the club bar will be open for drinks and snacks throughout the night.

This will be a relaxing social night to get together with rival crews and recognise the achievements of some and the demise of others over the first 2 months of the season. There will also be discussion of arrangements for the planned club yacht cruise that is in the program for the Sunday of the Australia Day long weekend …. mark it in your diary now as it will be a fun weekend not to be missed.

With Christmas just around the corner this Saturday’s BBQ will also be a great opportunity to start spreading some early Christmas cheer ….. so dust off the santa hats!

We look forward to seeing all boat crew’s and their supporters on Saturday night, so please help spread the word.

Have a great week everyone.

Smooth Sailing

Team SLMASC
