2018-19 Season Opening Weekend For Trailable Yachts
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:
