Please note that there will be now a discard after every 5 races for each Midweek Series. Previously there was a discard after every 6 races. This should encourage participation by allowing boats to stay in the hunt longer improving the odds somewhat.

Odyssey Expeditions Twilight Series
We’ve been fortunate not only in securing some top quality sponsorship for this season’s Twilight Series but also having run an abandoned-free series so far. With 10 races remaining, there’s still a chance to be in the running for a holiday for two exploring the Kimberley Coast and all you have to do is sail your boat in the Twilights.
Racing recommence the following Wednesday, 15 January. To enter your boat in the series, click here.

SoPYC Crew Finder
Users of the Crew Finder service available on the website (click here) may be pleased to know that we have now two Crew Coordinators diligently working on matching crew with boats.
If you’re looking to join a crew on a boat, the online registration has become much simpler and as soon as you submit your request, either Brian Saleeba or Bruce Uren will be in contact to get you onboard as soon as possible.
Skippers can now add a photo of their boat when registering their call out for new crew. The boat listing is now auto generated and sorted by registration date.
