The second round of the Autumn Series RTC will take place on Saturday March. 

Skippers brief will be at 12:00 and the first race is scheduled to start at 13:00. 

Lets get all the boats out on the water. 

We ask the bigger cruising boats to please try it as well. 

There are a number of cruising boats taking part and they all enjoy it. 

We will try and arrange as much crew as we can find. 

False Bay yacht Club are sailing across the pond on Saturday and will join us for a Party after the racing. 

We invite all club members, sailors and non sailors to come down to the club for some fun times. 

It is vitally important for us to have more GBYC members than FBYC members in the club at midnight on Saturday.

We are still looking for 6 more sailors to join the team for the MAC24. 

It is a 24 hour race in a Bosun Dinghy on Flamingo Vlei in Milnerton and is organized by Milnerton Aquatic Club. 

Big fun is to be had there.
