Using the Farr 9.2 Association online calendar

With the launch of the new Farr 9.2 Association website, we have also published an events calendar, to make it easy to view the upcoming racing and social events. You can access this calendar online, or on your phone/tablet device.

A summary of upcoming events will always be listed on the right-hand sidebar of the farr92.asn.au website. If you’d like a day-planner type view of the events, you can view the Farr 9.2 events calendar page. You can bookmark that page for easy reference.

The handicaps calculated from the final race of the Swan River Metro Series will be used as the starting handicaps for the 2015-2016 season, with any new entrants receiving the series winner’s handicap. Sail well in the new season!

Raft up: Sunday 1st Feb

Your committee is planning to have a “raft-up” on Sunday 1st February.

The Sequicentenary Cup is also being held on Saturday. Apparently some are considering overnighting on their boats and having a self catered BBQ breakfast at RPYC before the raft-up!

Richard Brisbane Cohen suggests the area just past SoPYC as we can pick up a yellow mooring and raft up off the boat on the mooring if weather permits. Maybe he should be the trail-blazer as he has done it before.

The way I understand this works is that we invite friends, family, crew and leave the club at a designated time (to be advised), have a leisurely sail to the agreed location then raft-up. You can then enjoy some pre luncheon drinks, picnic lunch and a boozy afternoon mixing with those on the other boats, having a swim and whatever else takes your fancy. We then sail back to the club at an agreed time (to be advised).

Please us know if you’ll be coming, by the 20th of Jan. Either comment on this post (along with your boat name), or send an email to Warren.
