Reading through the latest newsletter from EBYC this is certainly the event to make sure you have your entered to sail with some of the best Flying Fifteen in sailors throughout the world. Esperance Bay Yacht Club has one of the most beautiful body of water to sail on in with plenty of breeze, the hospitality is superb with social functions organised throughout the week. For those who have attended an event before you will certainly remember the early morning bacon and egg breakfast rolls available each day and the volunteers who supported sailors with boat launching. EBYC have advised the event has 41 boats to date with the list growing weekly. If you haven't entered there is still time but t-shirt orders have closed. Toni has mentioned in her latest newsletter if you still want to order your lunch for the week then please fill in your lunch order and email back to her. Details on the entry form. For those sailing over the next couple of weeks prior to the event lets try and keep our boats from damage. Last Sunday at SOPYC multiple race day in 20 plus knots saw several boats collide some with major damage. Be aware of boats around you. We hope to see Roffl and Enuff Rope back on the water soon. Nick and Kevin lets hope you stay in your boats, plenty of big fish in Esperance waters.
