Extra Nationals & Notice of AGM
January 17th, 2010 by Geoffrey Posted in General, Organisation | No Comments »Hi All
Extra Nationals is a go!
5-7 February, along with the 420’s. Most of us will need to take leave on the Friday as racing is scheduled to start at 10h30. Entry is R100 with an additional R70 for those who haven’t paid their subs yet…! We will be doing a phone around – it will be great to see everyone on the water again! If you guys won’t be sailing, please think about lending your boats out to guys who can.
The AGM will be held on the Friday after sailing.
See you on the water!

General Update: boats for sale, Intasure & Voelvlei Points
September 22nd, 2009 by Geoffrey With the Tags: classifieds, points series, sponsors | Posted in General, Organisation | No Comments »Boats for sale: The classifieds page has been updated with 3 boats currently for sale.
Intasure: Intasure has recently got involved in sponsoring a few sailing events, such as the Simonstown Keelboat Spring Regatta & a team for the Lipton Cup. It is really refreshing when a company steps up to the plate like these guys & decides to support some local sailing events. Give these guys a call if you are looking at insuring your boat or anything else & show your support for someone who supports your sport…!
The Extra Class supports all sponsors of sailing and will publish brief write-ups by class members who are sponsored while sailing, subject to approval by the Committee
Next Points Series: The next points series is on the 17th & 18th of October at Voelvlei. Check it out http://www.vyc.co.za/This is one of the nicest places to sail: clean water, lots of space, cheap camping etc. Please consider sailing this event. It will be really good to have some decent numbers attending. Let’s keep up the momentum that we have gained…!
Mac-12
September 2nd, 2009 by Geoffrey With the Tags: mac, mac12 | Posted in Organisation | No Comments »
This year sees Milnerton Aquatic Club’s Mac-12, now in its 2nd year, accept entries from the Extra Class along with the already present Lasers and Dabchicks. The event differs little from the club’s popular 24 hour race and runs from 6.30am to 6.3pm on Saturday the 19th of September.
So far we have two teams entering: Thomas van der Ploeg and myself are sailing with a couple of non-class members, in an effort to convert them, and Ian Macrobert, Markus Progli and Stephen du Toit are entering as Team Intasure.
It would be great to see a strong Extra contingent at the event. Take a look at the event webpage for more information and get in touch with the committee to let us know if you are sailing or are looking for a team to sail in.
Sailing at Simonston Update
June 12th, 2009 by Geoffrey With the Tags: simonstown | Posted in Organisation | No Comments »Ok, a lot of guys are sailing the GBYC regatta. So, we will be sailing on Saturday the 20th out of Simonstown Yacht Club – weather permitting. The club is pretty congested, so they have asked if we can take our boats home with us afterwards. Also, once we have offloaded, we need to move our trailers outside, out of the way.
Dave Rae will be coaching Lasers & 420’s. The idea is to sail in their vicinity, but not interfere. We will lay one or two marks & sail a few windward / leeward courses or whatever else we feel like…
Also, once again, please confirm if you will be sailing so that I know who to contact if the weather looks too rough to sail.
Kind regards,
Ian MacRobert
Sailing at Simonstown
June 1st, 2009 by Geoffrey With the Tags: simonstown | Posted in Organisation | No Comments »Hi All
We are still looking to sail extras out of FBYC on Tuesday 16th June (Youth Day). What I need from you guys is a yes or a no as to whether you can make it on that day or not. It is the last day of a keel boat regatta in Gordon’s Bay, so a few guys will not be able to make it as it is. If we don’t sail on the 16th, we’d like to sail on Saturday the 20th – it is also FBYC’s closing cruise. Please indicate if you can make the Saturday or not. Unfortunately, we can’t leave our boats at FBYC as space is limited, so we’ll have to trail them home with us…
Thanks!
Ian MacRobert
