Parking is available at RMYC.

It’s not over yet, but the fat lady has begun to sing her swan-song as we approach the end of the 2023 calendar year.
Therefore, with much excitement, the day will start with the Sue Heyder Christmas Race west of the Harbour Bridge, with a 10:30 start. Post race, members are urged to return boats to their mooring and head to the Blues Point Hotel for the Christmas Lunch.
The traditional BPYC Christmas lunch will be held in the clubhouse, aka Blues Point Hotel, on Saturday 9th December to be enjoyed by the skippers, crew, members, supporters and friends of the BPYC. This is a heavily subsidised event for financial members and therefore yet another reason to join up!
Actually, if you have experienced a BPYC social event before then there is not much to be added here, you get the picture. It will be another great social occasion, with yarn, laughter, delicious food and perhaps a glass of wine or two surplus to requirements for some of the punters. Here are some some of last year's photos of this outstanding celebration.
Race start
Start time is scheduled for 1030am, with countdown signals over the radio at 10 minutes, 5 minutes and then the starting signal.
The start is a fleet start - i.e. all yachts will start at the same time - with the attached yacht handicaps applied to the finishing time.
Course
The Committee will choose between the two attached courses, Course A (longer) and Course B (shorter) - both of which are west of the Harbour Bridge and involve Cockatoo Island.
The course will be selected p.m. Friday and communicated to skippers.
If you have any questions, you can contact me directly on 0478617191.
Best regards,
