Middle Harbour Yacht Club E-Newsletter
Welcome to Middle Harbour Yacht Club E-News. Last night, John Maclurcan, was our guest speaker at the Club's monthly sailing clinic, talking on Performance Based Handicaps. Although the clinic only drew a small group, it was an extremely interesting insight into how handiocaps are set and well received by those who attended. The Club also trialled a new format with a reduced price and special food options for these clinics. If you have any suggestions of topics for our monthly clinics, please contact the MHYC office.
