Join us on Newcastle Harbour on Sunday 10th September 2023 as we kick off the new boating season by blessing the fleet.
 

Instructions

1. 10.30am - muster in the Basin and keep a listening watch on VHF Ch 77.
2. 11.00am - the lead boat will use VHF Ch 77 to make a radio broadcast announcing the activity instructions and notifying when they commence the sail past. This will be accompanied by a long horn blast and they will slowly begin following the mapped course.
3. The lead boat will proceed at 4 knots. Participating vessels are requested to form a single file, following the lead boat.
4. The course will take vessels up past the NCYC clubhouse before transiting along the Honeysuckle waterfront and out toward Nobbys.
5. Vessels will be blessed as they pass the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club fuel wharf.

**The Blessing of the Fleet parade will be followed by live music and food/drink specials in the clubhouse from 12noon.
Note - we will also have prizes for the best dressed boat (and crew) to be presented after returning to the clubhouse.
