We have a new Crew Hub this season, allowing anyone to list themselves as available to crew on any of our race days.
It’s a great resource for skippers, and we highly recommend bookmarking the page! You can also find a direct link to the Crew Hub in the Links section of the MYC App.
The Hub will always be kept current, with listings automatically cleared every Sunday night so it doesn’t become cluttered with out-of-date availability.
You can access the Crew Hub via our Club Racing HQ page:
https://www.morningtonyc.net.au/club-racing-season-hq.html
Or go directly to the Crew Hub here:
https://www.morningtonyc.net.au/crew-hub.html
Both pages also include a link to the all-important Crew Fees payment system.
A reminder for all skippers: Anyone racing on your boat this season must have:

• a SailSys account,
• be included on your boat’s Crew List and
• have paid the applicable Crew Fees.

Our Club insurance policies require skippers and crew to be accurately listed on the Crew List for every race. Please don’t overlook this requirement – it is included in the Rules and, most importantly, it’s about your safety.
If you need any help with the Crew Hub, SailSys, Crew Lists or Crew Fees, please contact the office.

It’s an exciting season of racing this year so head over now to Club Racing HQ to find the NoR, Noticeboards, Entry System and more: https://www.morningtonyc.net.au/club-racing-season-hq.html
*** 3 very important reminders for Keelboats and Trailables when entering.

• When selecting the racing series you wish to compete in, don’t forget to select the mandatory Season Compliance module too. If you don’t select and complete this module, you will not receive results.

You do not need to pay for the compliance module on checkout.

• When you get to the Payment section, please be sure to update the fields as below and ensure you are paying the right amount. There are up 6 racing series to choose from and pay for this year.
  

As always, you can contact our Sailsys team with any queries via email: [email protected] or Stephen Bolton on 0411 247 855

Alma Doepel is Going to Hobart
For the first time since 1976 Alma Doepel will visit Hobart for the Australian
Wooden Boat Festival. The Board of Sail & Adventure Ltd has formally
approved the voyage of Alma Doepel to the Australian Wooden Boat
Festival in Hobart in February 2027.
This will be Alma Doepel’s first major interstate voyage following her restoration
and an extraordinary milestone for everyone who has supported the ship over
many years. It also marks 50 years since the Alma Doepel departed Hobart for
her new life in Victoria working with young people.
They are looking for experienced crew, interested in joining the delivery voyage,
return voyage, sea trials or festival operations. Also there are opportunities for
skilled volunteers able to assist with electrical work, carpentry, rigging, painting,
deck work, engineering, provisioning and voyage preparation.

MORNINGTON, VIC — Mornington Yacht Club (MYC) is proud to announce it will host the 2027 Victorian State Championships for three of the state's premier junior and youth sailing classes: the Optimist, 420 and 29er. The event will run over the Labour Day long weekend, 6–8 March 2027.
Three Classes. Three State Championships. One Great Weekend of Sailing.
Working alongside the Victorian Optimist, 420 and 29er Associations, MYC will bring all three State Championships together at one venue for the first time, with each class running its own independent championship while sharing the club's facilities and race area.
This event reflects a focus MYC has built over recent years: growing camps and programs that support multi-class sailing, and giving young sailors clear, accessible pathways to progress through the sport. Over the years, MYC's camps have brought these classes together in this way, and the club has seen firsthand the value of it; not just in skill development, but in the friendships that grow between sailors as they cross paths across the classes.
This will be a major moment in the 2026–27 Victorian sailing calendar and another step forward in MYC’s strategic commitment to bringing sailors together and growing strong junior and youth racing across multiple classes. The timing is fitting, with MYC this weekend hosting 65 sailors across four classes for training, alongside 10 champion coaches. Combined with a strong turnout expected for the Schnapper Point Regatta in February 2027, it’s a clear sign of the momentum building at MYC and within Victorian sailing.
"We talk a lot about pathways in sailing, but really it's about possibilities. Every sailor finds their own way through the sport, and the more of those possibilities kids can see, the more likely they are to stick with it," said Melissa Warren, Sailing Manager, Mornington Yacht Club.
More information from each class association and from Mornington Yacht Club will follow as event arrangements are finalised.
