End of Season Presentations

Good afernoon everyone,

Well, 2025 sailing season has now closed.

We had a social sail day today from 10is this morning, wehere we had 7 A Class boats on the water, with two coming form the North and North West - Thanks Dicko and Ted for coming down to support the day.

Unfortunately, the wind wasn't playing the right tune and we drifted around for a few races until we pulled the pin and went in for our BBQ Lunch and Awards presentations. Big thanks to Bodge, Phil Tunbull and John Short for their work in organisnig and running the BBQ today.

Thanks to the guys who came along for the presentations as well - it was appreciated. It may ahve been a small turnout, but everyone enjoyed the BBQ and laughs.

Ray then came forward and had a chat about the season, gave out a few thankyous and went forward with the presentations. A few surpised looks when a few were called up to accept an award - which was really nice. Well done to all the award winners. Ray has taken some of th eones that will be presented to Wednesday sailors who weren't there today.

I have Linked a copy of the 2025 Season Award Winners document for anyone who wishes to have a look at them.

Bodge had organised a sweep for the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and we still have a few that need to be sold. Please contact Bodge if you would like some tickets - otherwise the club will take the remainder and will be a nice little bonus for the club should the tickets allocated to it wins.

Have a great christmas everyone, and a safe new year period. We understand this time is not such a joyous one for everyone, and if you fit into that space, please take care and look after yourself. Friends are about at the club should you need to have a chat to someone, please reach out if you feel the need.

Best wishes for the new sailing season. Let's all do our best to be better next season than we were last season (as we always strive to be). The club has made some excellent headway into being better overall - in performance and behaviour both on and off the water, and lets hope it continues to build ont he fantastic base we have worked so hard for. It is essential to be so in order for any club to thrive and increase its membership base.

Our next sailing day is on the RBRYC Website calendar, on Sunday, 4th January - IOM Scratch Summer Series Round 1 at MBYC, button press at 1pm.
