2015 Results

The SGYC held its annual Awards Night at the club house of the yacht club on Saturday night 9 May 2015. This event was attended by over 40 members, partners and kids. Despite the cold weather all people received a warm reception from the Commodore and the SGYC Committee. Before each presentation, Neil Warren explained the background to each award and how the results were calculated. The awards also followed the sequence of the various series starting at the beginning if the season in early November 2014 through to the last series held on the Anzac Day Weekend in 2015.
Each series was hotly contested with an average of 15 yachts racing in any race and all sailors are looking forward to when the 2015-2016 season starts again in early November 2015.
