Building on the success of the last six years, the Victorian Trailable Yacht Division (VTYD) is seeking your support to promote this event to your members - a special weekend for trailable yachts in Melbourne’s Docklands. This year’s event has three main purposes:
1. To celebrate the opening of the 2018-19 sailing season with your fellow club / association members in the company of other trailable yacht sailors.
2. To promote trailable yacht sailing to your friends and colleagues on Sunday 20 October 2018.
3. And this year – to promote a “Re-Discover Sailing Day” – for all those trailable yachts or sailors that haven’t seen the water for a while.

Attached is a flyer promoting the weekend for you to circulate to your members with details of the event and below are some important details about the various activities planned:
