MHYC Opening Day - Come join us and celebrate the start of the 2017-18 Sailing Season!
Make sure you save the date - Saturday 2nd September! We always have a fun theme that you need to use to decorate your boat or dress up your crew. This year we are going with "Favourite Music or Bands"! Think along the lines of the Beach Boys (a nice easy one with everyone in Hawaiian shirts) or Bay City Rollers and everyone in kilts - just to give you a couple of ideas. We have just confirmed a new sponsorship with radio station smoothfm so a music theme is very appropriate. Great prizes to be won!
Starting off with a champagne brunch, followed by a colourful and exciting boat parade, the Commodore's "Front Up" Cup race, and then back to the Clubhouse for entertainment, volunteer and prize presentations!
