Banjos Shoreline Crown Series Bellerive Regatta – 13th to 15th February 2015
Preparations are well underway for the 2015 Crown Series. The Notice of Race has been published and can be
viewed on the BYC Crown Series website. The regatta format for the sailing programme and onshore activities will be
similar to past years with some new initiatives and improvements that will be detailed in the Notice of Race.
Race entries are now being taken and can be lodged through the Crown Series website
(crown.belleriveyachtclub.com.au). There is also an Early Bird Entry Draw for all competitors that lodge their
entries by 31 January. For keel boats the entry close date as per the Notice of Race is Monday 9th February
and for dinghys the entry close date is Thursday 12th February. Late entries will not be accepted.
Crown Series Visitor Berthing We are again trying to free up marina space for visiting yachts as we have done in past years.
If you are not competing there are a number of ways in which you could help.
1. If you will be away over the period and your berth will be vacant, please advise our Marine Manager.
2. Free slipping is available for anyone wishing to vacate their berth for the period of the regatta. There are
limited spaces available so contact BYC Bosun if you wish to take advantage of this offer. 3. Swap berths with someone from another club who is competing. 4. Move your boat temporarily to the Prince Of Wales Bay Marina. The Marina has again offered us the use of
a number of berths covering the period of the Crown Series. A number of boats took up this offer last year
and it worked well. Experienced volunteers will be available to help move boats in the week preceding the
regatta and back again in the following week, if you need assistance.
Please contact BYC Marine Manager Tony Garrett, phone 0448 495 949, if you can assist by utilizing any of the
options above.
