Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo 2020 Postponed

As you would be aware, the world has been monitoring the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) with concern and these past weeks have seen public events being postponed or cancelled.

Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club considers the health and safety of our members, staff and guests of high importance. The situation is rapidly changing and we will continue to monitor it. 

Due to these current conditions RPAYC is of the view that the most appropriate action for Club events involving the gathering of a large number of people will be assessed on an event by event basis and postponed if thought appropriate.


After careful consideration the decision has been taken to postpone Club Marine Pittwater Sail Expo 2020 (21-22 March) until further notice. We thank our naming rights sponsor Club Marine for their unwavering support.

Other events will be considered and information will be posted on the RPAYC website and social media sites, as well as on the Club noticeboard.

Please note, typical Club activities including Club racing and dining will be business as usual.

Cruising Syndicate Seminar at Pittwater Sail Expo

 

Multihull Central’s Director Brent Vaughan presents a special information seminar about cruising syndicates currently being formed on new Seawind catamarans to be based in Pittwater and the Whitsundays.

 

Yacht syndication can be a very affordable alternative to outright boat ownership, however the cruising syndicates that Multihull Central offer caters specifically to people who want to go ultimately want to go cruising to locations beyond the home base locations.

The system combines smaller groups of people using a cost affective self-management program, which means more flexibility with time onboard and locations the boats can sail to.

Further information about these syndicates are explained in a short video here: https://youtu.be/SZRXC9TSpwo

A new Seawind 1190 Sport catamaran syndicate will launch later this year with its home base on Pittwater with just one share remaining.

A new Seawind 1260 syndicate catamaran is also being formed and will have its home base at Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays providing convenient fly in fly out access to cruise the islands and beyond.

The award winning Seawind 1260 will be displayed at the upcoming Pittwater Sail Expo on the 21st & 22nd March as hosted by the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in Newport. Further information about the Seawind 1260 is shown on this demonstration video here: https://youtu.be/Hh-0pspWJBA
