Skippers are always looking for new crew, and there are many people looking for a chance to do just that.  Our recent Try Crewing Day certainly created a lot of interest and opportunities.  As a follow up NCYC now has a “Yachts Requiring Crew & Crew Seeking yachts” page.  This page can be accessed through “Sailing Division” on the menu bar.

The 2010-2011 Season Spring Short Ocean Pointscore Series Race 1 also incorporated the Inaugural Try Crewing Day organised by BIA and supported by YNSW.  Skippers at Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club  were pleased to be able to show support for the Boating Industry of Australia, and Yachting New South Wales by getting right behind this initiative.  It proved to be a highly successful event for our club with YNSW’s Andrew Cribb addressing a large number of would-be sailors before they headed out to sea to participate in the first of our pointscore races for the season.

Strong winds caused the postponement of the 6th annual Founder’s Day Parade, Blessing of the Fleet, and associated activities.  The event previously to be held on Sunday 5 September 2010 will be rescheduled for a date to be decided.
