Thank you, James Vincent, for a fantastic night of music at our Jazzify Session! About 50 members enjoyed the event last Friday, with fantastic feedback — we look forward to welcoming you back to MYC very soon!  Congratulations to Cam McKenzie on being awarded ORCV Ocean Racer of the Year at the weekend’s ORCV Awards Night – a great achievement and well-deserved recognition of Cam’s dedication and contribution to ocean racing.Ginan’s long list of achievements continues to grow, including taking out the Coastal Championship Series for the third consecutive year – an incredible accomplishment! It’s been a fantastic season for the team, who have not only achieved great success on the water but also played a key role in introducing many MYC members, young and old, to keelboat and ocean racing. Well done to the entire Ginan crew!   Last Thursday saw the biggest turnout we’ve had at an AGM in many years — there’s nothing like an election to spur on some interest around the Club!
Thank you to my family and friends and all members that showed their support in my running for the position of Commodore. A special thanks goes to Andrew Young for the tireless effort he has put into the club over the last 3 years as Commodore. We have seen many changes and enhancements to our facilities in this time, and with the Club's loan now almost paid off we can look forward to further improvements - both around the club and on the water. While I might have much bigger shoes than Andrew, the ones he's left behind will be hard to fill. I’d also like to thank our outgoing Board Members for their contributions:
