Hi All,
Below is a brief run down on the sailing and social program for the multihull class for 2009 SGRW. There may be some changes and more detail will be forthcomming, but it gives you an idea of what to expect so you can prepare. The MYCV has worked closely with RGYC and the SGRW Principle race officer to come up with an exciting and varied program that bodes well for one of the best ever Multihull Regatta's in Melbourne.
1. Multihulls can Berth free of charge at RGYC from Saturday 17th onwards. When arriving via sea, please call the marina mobile and talk to Paul 0418 524 867. He will point you to your assigned marina berth. If arriving via road, call Rob Hampshire the Sailing Administrator on 5229 0730 or 0437 689 928 and he will direct you to the closest launching ramp, trailer park and berthing.
