Yachts The BYRA Keelboat division grew out of the former McCarr's Creek Yacht Racing Group which originated in 1991 and sailed out of Mitchell's marina. This group merged with BYRA in 2001. The BYRA Keelboat division now comprises yachts from the McCarrs Creek Group and all other BYRA members wishing to sail as skipper or crew with the keelboats. Download the 2008/9 Season's Program here. Download the 2008/9 Sailing Instructions here. We sail on Tuesday nights during daylight saving. We start at approximately 6pm, with a start line at the Woody Point mark and the race ends by 8pm. We normally follow the race with a raft-up for supper in Morning Bay, formerly called Towlers Bay  unless weather conditions preclude this (a rare event !) Racing is held in a friendly, non-aggressive manner, although there is plenty of competitiveness. The accent is on fun & friendship. At the end of the season, usually in April we hold the annual "TwoIslandClassique" race from WoodyPointround Scotland & Lion islands, and after the finish meet at a previously agreed venue for an overnight raft-up. We also join the Dalton Cup,  BYRA's annual Lion Island race which is run in the last weekend of November. Our Fleet Captain is Michael Doherty - contact on 0414 983 488 or dohpol@intercoast.com.au Our handicapper is Bob Graham - 0418 973 468.
