Hello all,

This Weekend at Redhouse we host the 34th Eastern Cape Interschool Regatta.

The Notice of Race and entry forms for the 2010 E.Cape Interschool Regatta may be downloaded from the club web site at www.ryc.co.za/interschools/

There will be no organised club sailing this weekend but all members are invited to visit the club and to support our young sailors as they compete for the coverted Interschool trophies.

All members are also invited the bring 'n braai at the clubhouse on Saturday evening and to share the traditional RYC hospitality with our visitors.

The ABYC Easter Dinghy Regatta is to be sailed from the ABYC on 27 and 28 March. The regatta is during the school holidays when there is no organised sailing at Redhouse and all our sailors, both junior and senior, are asked to please support this event that will provide good open water practice for the W.Cape provincials.

The Notice of Race will be posted as soon it is made available or in the interim you may telephone Andrew Bosworth on 083 637 8000 for more information.

The W.Cape Provincial Regatta is to be sailed from 24 till 27 April in Saldanah Bay. The official junior fleets are RS Tera, Optimist and Dabchick whilst the senior fleets are open to all classes.

A contingent of RYC sailors will be participating in the event and any junior requiring use of a club boat to sail at the W.Cape championships must please speak to either myself or Coach Steve as soon as possible. For additional information, the NOR and online entry please visit the SASWC web site at http://www.wcchamps.sailing.org.za

RYC Club Trophies awarded to members and sailors last year need to please now be returned to Esme' or any of the RYC committee members.

That's about all for this week and I look forward to you and your family joining us at the club this weekend to support our young sailors.

Yours in sailing
