7.3 Racing/Promotions:
The meeting discussed the following issues:
· Racing - members in all States be encouraged to identify sailing clubs
with a lot of small skiff-type boats which may welcome our 3M multihulls.
Local SA clubs suggested included Normanville, Clayton and Goolwa.
· Come & Try Days - Glen reported that quotes for insurance to cover
members of the public participating in a come & try with the club in
SA were around $70 per boat per day. The meeting considered such a cost
to be prohibitive and resolved not to plan a come & try day in SA.
· Promotion of the club through group participation in an established
race for small boats, such as SA's annual Rat Island Race conducted
by the Clayton Bay Boat Club, see www.alexandrina.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=681
