MCYC is not just about Thursday night Twilight racing. We hold rallies to other ports and we support each other cruising around Australia and beyond. Our most recent rally was to Port Hacking for the Navigators Cup on the weekend of 15/16 March. Four boats from the Club – Catty Shack, Reflection, Chill Out, Sea Glass – made the trip down on Friday afternoon in a 10 to 15 knot nor-Easter and flat seas. Everyone took the opportunity to practice their spinnaker technique in perfect conditions. Sea Twist was the fifth Sydney Boat to make the trip down, coming down on Thursday night. The Cronulla Sailing Club had kindly made mooring buoys available for us. This required some rafting up but that just made socialising easier. Race day brought a moderate to fresh Nor-Easter, again on surprisingly flat seas. Our boats were entered in…
After a decent break for Christmas and January, TAGS has been back with a vengeance! The first race on February 6 was fairly light and a chance to clear out some cobwebs as Forza II and Chillout both rounded their own top mark rather than Beashel Buoy, still a sunny summer afternoon on Sydney Harbour makes up for anything.

Back to the marquee at…
