On Saturday 5 October 2024, SYC Members and their guests get to celebrate the Opening of our sailing season!
The day gets underway at 11am with kids activities on the hardstand as well as live entertainment from Haley and Steve.
The Opening Ceremony commences at 1pm and will be followed by the sail past from 2pm and the OTB Ronstan Opening Day Challenge from 2.30pm.
From 3.15pm, join in the family fun with a magician and face painting for the kids in the Olympic Room.
There will be live music on the deck from 3.45pm. Then headlining our entertainment, from 7pm, The Noisy Johnnies will be performing live in the Port Phillip Room.
Getting into the spirit of Opening Day is a great tradition at SYC. This year’s Opening Day is “Rock Around The Dock”, so pull out your best rock star outfits!
The Commodore will be awarding ‘best dressed boats’ and “best dressed members’.
If you’re not heading out on the water, come and view the sail past from the Members’ Bar and Lounge which will open from 11am.
The kitchen will be open from 11am to 9pm. The Ken King Centre will have egg and bacon rolls on offer in the morning from 9am and over lunch we will have a range of tasty options available.
Looking forward to an amazing day at SYC – it’s great to belong!
