On Saturday 1 October, SYC Members and their guests get to celebrate the Opening of our sailing season.
The day gets underway at 11am in the hardstand village with live entertainment from Haley & Steve. The opening ceremony gets underway at 1pm and will be followed by the sail past from 2pm and the OTB Ronstan Opening Day Challenge from 2.30pm. From 4pm, come back to the hardstand village and join in the family fun with a magician and face painting for the kids. The Garry Eastwood duo will be live on the deck from 3.30pm. And headlining our live entertainment, from 7pm, Big & Horny will be performing live in the Port Phillip Room.
Getting into the spirit of Opening Day is a great tradition at SYC. This years Opening Day is “Hawaiian themed”, so pull out your best outfits! The Commodore will be awarding ‘best dressed boats’ and “best dressed Members’.
The sail past instructions are below. If you’re not heading out on the water, come view the sail past from the Members’ Bar and deck which will open from 11am. The Members’ Bar kitchen will be open from 11.30am-9pm. The Ken King Centre will have egg and bacon rolls on offer in the morning from 8am and over lunch we will have a range of tasty options on offer.
Looking forward to an amazing day at SYC – it’s great to belong!
