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.
