One last chance to all come together and celebrate the season that was from 7:00pm at the club, please bring a plate of sweets or savoury treats to share for supper.
Commodores update – End of season 24/25
Just a message of thanks and gratitude to the passionate volunteers, members and friends of the Midway Point Yacht Club. What a successful season we have had and with challenging weather although still getting in a full race calendar!
A strange day with very unpredictable weather leading to the race start being delayed until 14:00 then during the first leg a nasty change came through bringing very strong gusts and large direction changes. Firstly Phantom then Viva la Vida and Serenity headed back in, Under the Radar lost the rudder and Noiseworks capsized while heading back to shore leaving just Avengers and About Time to make it a race.
Another intense day at Kingston with a very solid and gusty S to W breeze from 6-8 knots with gusts up to 27 knots. The club was hosting the Open Skiff and Mirror State Titles as well as the Sabot training weekend along with the B14 States.
The Midway Point Yacht Club team of Jo-Anne Verrier Skipper, Lauren Pitt, Sarah Haywood and Sarah Michael had a great regatta with two wins and a forth for a clear overall win on PHS.Well done all of you.
At Kingston after day one of the B14 State Titles in a crazy breeze the MPYC boats are also doing well,
Lewis Bowen and Jess Smith had a sucessful Block Buster Regatta taking out an overall win in the NS14s and Jo-Anne Verrier in a Sabre survived the Crown Series Regatta to win a Special Performance trophy as well as taking out the Sabre Travellers Trophy on handicap.
A good group of sailors headed out this morning for race training in perfect conditions. After lunch a fleet of five Sabres four NS14s three B14s and a Pacer headed out for a start box start and a starboard course.
