Flying Ant State Championships 2022

Mounts Bay Sailing Club would like to give a special mention and congratulations to Finley Symonds and Lucas Cunningham who went down to Geographe Bay Yacht Club over the long weekend for the Flying Ant State Titles for 2022! With some great sailing conditions on Saturday and lighter winds on Sunday the state trophy was hard fought for with the winner being determined on a count back! 

Eight races were undertaken over three sessions, but our very own Finley and Lucas secured the win on Addiction over Bind Vitale-Jones and Beccy Best on Beach Entry from Royal Perth Yacht Club. 

Harriet & Zac Mellor also competed in Predator, in Harriet’s 1^st racing experience and finished in 6^th with a 3^rd place best result! Congratulations on your debut race Harriet! Phantom was also due to race however unfortunately had to isolate later Friday afternoon and couldn’t attend.

Huge congratulations to all those who participated in the races and massive shoutout to Geographe Bay Yacht Club and volunteers for putting on a spectacular regatta! The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from all our members returning to the big smoke!
 

Cruisers come down to the wire! 

Friday night twilight at the Bay enjoyed an awesome sunset sail with the championship currently sitting with a 1 point difference between 1st and 2nd to take out the 2022 title. Who will it be? Kabisa, or Micron!?

Important Member Notice

Unfortunately the club has recently had some Sump Oil dumped on the battery recycling point at our onsite station. This will be time consuming to remove because it has to be taken to special collection points.

All members are reminded that these facilities are managed by volunteers and to take care when leaving behind waste. Please note that the club does not currently have a location to leave Sump oil and must be taken off premises.
