Opening Day at Royal Perth Yacht Club

Back for another season at the yacht club for the 2019/2020 sailing season, the Royal Perth Yacht Club opening day was a success.


This wasn't a long race, a shortened course was used as we had the opening day presentation and welcome to country, an aboriginal welcoming ceremony and a dignitary address the members.

This was a warm sunny day with a bit of breeze around to make it interesting but not a 25 knot strong wind warning. Generally, 16 to 18 knots is a decent amount of wind without getting overtaxing.

Then some drinks in the pen on the boat with the crew before heading upstairs to the clubhouse where the formal function begins. Sailing attire is not only accepted but is the norm, I sail in bare feet and no footwear is required at the bar - a great casual atmosphere.
