As per the current government guidelines face masks must be worn whilst inside the club, unless eating or drinking and outside where you cannot social distance. We ask that you please remember to do this, especially on Thursday nights when the place is busier - thank you for your co-operation, & hopefully it won't be too long until these restrictions are lifted.  Sail Sandy was held at the weekend, and we had some great club results from out youth; James Jackson 1st 420, Sophie Jackson 3rd 420, Will McKenzie 4th 420, Lachie and Jack 2nd & 3rd, Radials Daniel Laverty 8th Radials, Ben Hodder 4th Laser 4.7 & Henri Levenspiel 4th Opti's Congratulations to you all!!  Safety Beach Sailing Club hosted their annual Sail Peninsula Regatta last weekend a number of MYC yachts competed although our representation was a bit disappointing. The weekend started with the twilight pursuit to Safety Beach from Mornington. The bigger boats from SBSC cleaned up. I hope the handicapper gets them next year. Scott Robertson was the first MYC boat home. Friday night’s pursuit at Safety Beach was sailed near perfect conditions as well with 51 boats on the track. Saturday’s race to Blairgorie and back saw a 50plus fleet in two divisions sail in absolutely fantastic conditions. Mortica took the MYC crown in Div1 and Himalayan Women came second in Div 2. On Sunday “Huey” had a rest and after a long “AP” sailing eventually got under way, Apache took the MYC honours. Overall best results, Div 2 Himalayan Women 1st CBH and 3rd AMS Tub Thumper 2nd CBH Div 1 Apache 8th and Mortica 9th Adams 10 Apache 2nd and Mortica 3rd It’s a great weekend of sailing so close to home, I’m not sure what we need to do to get more MYC representation, we had plenty of members sailing but only a few boats. Greg M Commodore   The Rocks will be closed Monday to Wednesday this week, and plan to open Thursday at this stage.
 Good news, as per the announcement made by VIC premier Dan Andrews today, the 5 day "snap" lockdown finishes at midnight tonight, which means we go back to where we were last week:

VICTORIAN JUNIOR CARNIVAL & SCHNAPPER POINT REGATTA Scheduled for13 & 14 March THE ROCKS Open from tomorrow 10am onwards for coffee, lunch and dinner THE MYC OFFICE Open from 12 noon - 5.30pm tomorrow, and 9.30am - 3pm Friday. See you at the club! Bye for now, Sarah Grant, Club Manager We were all disappointed to have to postpone the Schnapper Point Regatta and Victorian Junior Carnival. After so many cancelled regattas this season we still plan to hold these events, especially Junior Carnival which is important for our youngest sailors. We have come to the conclusion that the best possible weekend is that of the 13th and 14th of March. Hopefully that will suit as many as possible, both volunteers and participants. We have to, in times such as these; remain flexible, make the most of the situation, stay safe, have fun, and get back on the water.
