Matthew Woodley, owner and skipper of the Davidson 42 Mr. Roosevelt, has stayed on as Commodore and is leading the charge on many significant developments including the new building which is due to commence construction in May 2013.

Matt is joined by Vice Commodore Mike Wilson (Starlight Express – Davidson 55) and Rear Commodore Nathan Bonney (Quarter Pint – Farr 727).

In the very early hours last Thursday morning, RAYC launched a brand new website to coincide with the ongoing changes that the club is experiencing.

The new website was developed in-house and will be constantly updated with new event information, news, photos and videos.  Each event has its own identity will display all the details regarding it as well as archived news and results.
